Executive Assistant at Standard Bearers School

Standard Bearers School came into existence during a challenging period for Nigeria’s educational landscape. Amidst a surge in the number of schools, a decline in quality standards was evident. In response, SBS commenced its journey on January 7th, 1997, propelled by a dedicated cadre of educators and a handful of students. The foundation of SBS was rooted in the founder’s aspiration to establish an institution where academic and creative potentials were held in equal regard.
