Welcome to Aunty Joy Preparatory School
Founded with a deep passion for quality early childhood and continuous education, Aunty Joy Preparatory School began with a clear mission: to provide a safe, intellectually stimulating, and morally upright space where children in Benin City can thrive. Over the years, we have grown from a modest learning center into a full-spectrum educational institution spanning Crèche, Early Reader, Primary, and Secondary schools.
We offer a high-quality early learning program through hands-on experiences, creativity, and meaningful interactions, we foster each child's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development while encouraging independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning One little Creation At a Time.
