About Stanford Academy
A Brief History of Stanford Academy
2018: The Inception
Stanford Academy had always been a dream. A dream to build the best private primary and secondary education easily accessible in Benin City.
2019-2020:
Construction
After a series of plans were put in place, the project was set in motion. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic plans and subtle construction works were ongoing.
2020-The Commission
Building a fully functional school in less than 4 years was a real test of what we are truly made of but in the end, we prevailed and the school was commissioned.
Our Mission
Our sole mission is to prepare students to be eligible to attend ivy-league colleges and universities.
