Classical International Schools, Warri, Delta State, a mixed Secondary and primary School was established by an Act of British Parliament on Monday 20th of September 1909, with Mr. Lomax as its first Principal. The College (originally called King’s School, Lagos) opened with ten scholars. It was established to produce students of profound character and academic distinction – men who would build an independent Nigeria. In the words of the colonialists, the College was established To provide for the youth of the Colony a higher general education than that supplied by the existing schools, to prepare them for the Matriculation Examination of the University of London, and to give a useful course of study to those who intend to qualify for professional life or to enter Government or Mercantile Service. Our vision is to nurture youth of diverse background into men of profound character and academic distinction, through teaching, mentoring, best practices and fear of God, the greatness of the country and global community.

The school is committed to and reflects academic excellence and a well rounded education. Classical International School was established in January 1989 by the Educational Trust Council. A registered non-profit sharing organisation. The body is composed of members from varied professions who share a common passion for a 21st Century Nigeria with an enviable and competitive standard of education.
