History

The development of the Isolog Educational group came as a direct result of the recognition of the increasingly deteriorating education standards and the poor delivery of education services in the country. Seeing the gap between the expectation of parents and the reality of the education system, the directors of Isolog Nigeria Limited started a project to deliver affordable education to the youth of Nigeria.

The group began operations by setting up a vocational and secretarial school – Isolog Computer and Secretarial Institute (ICSI) – in 1998 to provide training for postsecondary school leavers wishing to go into self- or paid employment. The number of students in programmes at ICSI at the inception was in excess of 450.

In 1999, Isolog College, a secondary school institution offering courses in science, arts and commercial subjects for classes JS 1 to SS 3 was established. The population of students in the first two years of inception was over 300. The group expanded its operation in October 2000 by the founding of Isolog Nursery/Primary School at Ojodu to educate kindergarten age children. Many pupils were admitted to the school in the 2000/2001 academic session. The group expanded with two schools at Akute, Ogun State in the suburbs of Lagos. The Isolog College campus, a boarding school, was founded in October 2005; the Isolog Junior School was established in October 2006.
