Our Story

Built on a Mission to Educate

Dayspring Academy was founded in 2008 with one clear purpose: to give every child in AREA access to quality education that develops them academically, morally, and socially.

What started as a small nursery with just 40 pupils has grown into a full nursery-through-secondary institution serving over 500 students from across Lagos. Through it all, our commitment to excellence has never wavered.

Today, our alumni are in universities across Nigeria and abroad — doctors, engineers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs who carry the values of Dayspring Academy into the world.
