Special Needs (SEN) Teacher at Standard Bearers School (SBS)

Standard Bearers School emerged during a challenging era in Nigeria's educational landscape marked by a decline in the quality of education amidst a proliferation of schools. Founded on January 7th, 1997, SBS was conceived with a dedicated team of educators and a small group of students. The vision behind SBS was to establish a school that values both academic excellence and creativity equally.

SBS transcends the conventional definition of a school; it is a tight-knit family offering a comprehensive educational experience for parents seeking a technologically advanced, 21st-century learning environment for their children. We function as a community of lifelong learners who not only recognize but celebrate the unique worth of each individual, supporting them on their journey of self-discovery. At SBS, our commitment remains steadfast. We aspire to provide our students with a robust foundation and a promising start in life. Our educational approach focuses on nurturing independence, confidence, and responsibility, guiding our students to evolve into valuable, responsible members of our community.
