To commemorate her ascension another Queen’s School, distinct from the already established Queen’s College, Lagos was conceived, to expand the scope of female education in Nigeria.
From inception, the Queen’s School, Ede students were blessed with a dedicated, committed and passionate faculty of teachers, caring house mistresses and support staff, who instilled in the girls the spirit of excellence and discipline in all aspects of their academics, emotional wellbeing and character development. They served as mothers, aunties, counsellors and friends to the girls. Girls were brought up to be strong, confident, hardworking articulate and yet remain “fine” dignified ladies.
Queen’s School, Ede was a full boarding school. The dormitories were 4-roomed bungalows which were well spaced out, by its alluring trees from which the 3 Houses got their names – Casuarina, Baobab and Palm. There were keen, but fun and healthy competitions among the Houses, for sports, singing, at every opportunity.
