About Lilydion International School
A warm, supportive, and tolerant environment in which children thrive and love to learn — wonderfully situated at the heart of Edo State in Ubiaja.
Teaching excellence rooted in character and care.
Our teaching body ranks among the best in Nigeria. We have a standard curriculum and highly trained tutors imbibing strong traditional values that make learning so much more fun.
All these are hugely important factors that parents describe as having influenced them in choosing Lilydion International School for their son or daughter. But above all these, parents remark upon the warm, happy, vibrant, natural, and positive atmosphere that struck them the moment they entered through the gate.
First and foremost, Lilydion International School offers a caring, supportive, and tolerant environment in which children thrive and love to learn. Educating children from ages 3–18 years, the school is wonderfully situated at the heart of the country in Edo State, Ubiaja, surrounded with the beauty of nature away from all distraction of the hustle and bustle in the main town.
Character Development & The Love of Learning
We aim not only to challenge and inspire every child to achieve their very best, but also equip them for the future, whatever it may hold. The highest importance is placed on the development of character and developing a love of learning.
Lilydion International School recognises that education is at its most successful when it is a strong partnership with parents, so regular two-way contact and communication with parents is actively encouraged.
