The School began in 1946 when Chief (Mrs) Manuwa Theodora Obafunmilayo launched Girls Modern Academy, a primary School for girls. She followed this up as the years went by, with the establishment of four more schools. Fondly called Aunty Ayo, Mrs Manuwa a nurse by profession)was born in 1907. By the time her first school took off, schools were built by the colonial masters and supervised by missionaries. Education was then a social rather than a profit oriented venture. Her school was dedicated to education of the girl child at a time when parents were not interested in sending girls to school. Preference was given to the male child. Mrs Manuwa's interest was born out of genuine love for intellectualism and strong desire to eradicate illiteracy among women. Her own education and sojourn in London were catalysts for understanding the power of education in life. Further, she saw a country struggling for liberation from the shackles of colonialism and she knew that education was the only weapon that would be used She wanted the women to Participate in the struggle but they could only do that if they were sufficiently educated. Also, she knew that whenever the country regained freedom, the women would have roles to play in the new nation.
