THE AMBASSADORS SCHOOLS

HISTORY

The Ambassadors College, Ota, founded in 2003 is a Christian co-educational driven by a God-ordained unction with high academic and moral standards. A school with world-class boarding facilities and serene classroom environment that enhance all-round learning. Our place in the educational sector cannot be underrated as we have created a niche that fits into both local and international scenes. The school started like a candle light and has grown into a flame that has produced scholastic giants who can fit into any field of endeavour in the world.

The vision to establish The Ambassadors College was borne out of the belief that what you feed a child with, when the child is young, primarily determines what the child becomes (Proverbs 22.6) and we are driven by a God-ordained unction with high academic and moral standards.

We are poised to create a positive atmosphere for learning; we do not just teach our students, but we also train them to become Renaissance men. In the same vein, we craft them to become pathfinders, inventors and problem solvers in our changing world.

We have been noted as a Top school as a result of our interest in discovering the potentials of our students and harnessing same for a better society. And so we are pacesetters and frontliners in the educational sector. Without mincing words, we are all every child needs to attain a God-ordained destiny.

Mr Samson Yomi Osewa & Mrs. Victoria Olayemi Osewa remain the genius behind the great citadel of learning – The Ambassadors College, Ota. They are purposefully & passionately driven by a vision under the auspices of God to reach out to children and youths alike.

The blessed couple are pharmacist by profession, businessmen by initiative and counsellors by God’ s calling, 

Mr. Samson Yomi Osewa and his blessed wife, after over 28 years of happy togetherness are seasoned marriage counsellors who have had the opportunity to minister in many churches and christian organizations both in Nigeria and overseas. Mr. Samson Yomi Osewa also served as one of the National Directors of the full Gospel Business Men’ s Fellowship International – an organization in which he and his wife are active members.

SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

At the Ambassadors College, the success of every child is our priority and we passionately channel effort into bringing out the treasures embedded in the children entrusted into our care. This is evident in the rate of success we record yearly at both Junior and Senior external examinations.

This feat was repeated in 2018 as we produced a candidate with ‘A’ grade in all 9 subjects offered. The result in 2019 also spoke highly of The School and her dedicated teachers as over 99% of the students had excellent grades. In the Cambridge IGCSE, we have not only recorded outstanding success but have also earned awards from the British Council for our brilliant performance.
