BACKGROUND

The college is co-educational and is located at Old Ewu Road (Off Airport Road) in the mafoluku area of Lagos metropolis.

It is completently managed by the Dominicans who have acquired useful experience from managing its forerunner, the Dominican Nursery & Primary School, which was established in 1992 and also situated in Mafoluku.

The primary school has been very successful and indeed, the establishment of the Dominican College is an answer to the yearnings of parents who want their children to graduate from the primary school and move on to a secondary school that is managed by the Dominicans.

The first set of students, 36 in number were admitted into JSS1 class for the 2006/2007 academic year, while 60 have been admitted for the 2007/2008 session.

In line with our vision, our goal is the formation of the whole person, through an integrated, qualitative educational process that is based on unchanging, sound moral and spiritual values.

We shall charge moderate fees and because we are sensitive to the needs of the less privileged, who might be unable to afford the school fees, a scholarship scheme funded by some of our benefactors is in place .
