About Awa Hope

Twenty-nine years of building the school our children deserve.

From a single classroom in 1997 to a full group of schools serving Sabo, South Ibie, and Iyuakpi — our story is one of steady, deliberate growth in service of every child who walks through our gate.

Our History

Founded on a single conviction

Awa Hope Group of Schools was established on 29th January 1997 in Sabo, South Ibie, Iyuakpi, out of a conviction shared by our founders: that every child in this community deserved access to quality education without leaving home to find it.

What began as a modest nursery and primary school has, over nearly three decades, grown into a full group of schools — expanding its facilities, its staff, and its academic offering while holding on to the same personal, disciplined, family-centred approach it started with.

Today, generations of pupils who once sat in our earliest classrooms send their own children through our gates — a trust we do not take lightly.
