Bola Olat Private College is a private day secondary school for boys and girls from Basic 7 to Senior 3, serving families in Shomolu and the wider Lagos community.
The educational journey behind Bola Olat Private College began with a tutorial college founded on 6 August 1984. The tutorial programme supported learners preparing for GCE, O and A Level examinations and other professional examinations.
Bola Olat Private College was formally established on 22 September 1997 by Chief Mr. Olatubosun Bolaji. From a modest beginning, the school grew into a full secondary school committed to academic achievement, moral development and the preparation of young people for responsible adulthood.
The motto “The Only Legacy” reflects the school's belief in education as an enduring foundation that can shape a student's future and contribution to society.
To provide a high-quality and comprehensive education that prepares students to become successful, responsible and productive members of society, in a safe learning environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration.
To inspire a lifelong love of learning and equip students with the knowledge, skills and values needed to succeed in a changing world.
We encourage high standards in learning, conduct and the quality of work we produce.
We value honesty, responsibility and doing what is right even when no one is watching.
We expect consideration for people, learning, school property and the wider community.
Students, parents, teachers and school leaders achieve more when they work together.
Students are encouraged to serve, take responsibility and positively influence others.
We encourage curiosity, creativity, problem-solving and the confidence to act constructively.
At BOPC, education is more than the transfer of knowledge. We seek to nurture balanced young people who can think, communicate, create, collaborate and make responsible choices. Students are supported to take their academic work seriously while also developing discipline, confidence, leadership and respect for others.
Our school community depends on a strong partnership between students, parents, teachers and school leadership. Open communication and shared responsibility help us create a safe, purposeful environment in which every student can continue to improve.
