Marella International Group Schools, founded in 1979 by Late Mrs. Maria De'Lourdes Adebisi, started as a playgroup with just two students. Over time, it expanded to include a nursery/primary school in 1983, and eventually a college in 1997. In 1999, the proprietress retired and handed over the reins to Edward and Michelle Adebisi, who maintain high standards and a 6 to 1 student-teacher ratio. The school has two locations, Oluyole Estate for Creche, Nursery, and Primary, and Kongi, Bodija for High school and A level classes, with excellent dormitories. Marella alumni have received scholarships and excelled in various universities and extracurricular activities, including basketball, swimming, and more.
