Our Story
G.D.B International School was founded in 2005 by Mrs. Inubile Omolola Justina, a passionate educator with a burning conviction — that every Nigerian child deserves world-class education rooted in godly values.
What began as a small nursery and primary school with just 45 students and 8 teachers in a rented building in Lagos has grown into a full three-arm institution — Nursery, Primary, and Secondary — proudly serving over 1,200 students from across Lagos State and beyond.
Over the last two decades, GDB has earned recognition as one of Lagos State's premier private schools, consistently producing top performers in WAEC and NECO, national quiz competitions, science olympiads, and cultural exhibitions.
