About the School
Founded by Archdeacon Henry Dallimore on the Agidimo Hills
Christ's School was founded by Archdeacon Henry Dallimore on the Agidimo Hills as Ekiti Central School and was formally opened on June 30, 1933, for elementary education. The school was later renamed "Christ's School" by Sir Bernard Bourdillion, the Governor of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria, on September 10, 1936. The institution was built on the founding philosophy of the "3Hs": Head (academics), Hand (crafts), and Heart (moral training), with a catchment area that encompassed the whole of Nigeria.
In 1942, Christ's School was upgraded to a secondary school, and the first set of students was enrolled privately for the Cambridge School Certificate in 1945, with official registration for the School Certificate Examination following in 1948. Under the leadership of Canon L. D. Mason, who served as Principal from 1948 to 1966, the school experienced significant academic growth, producing accomplished alumni who went on to attend prestigious institutions in Nigeria and abroad. Many of these alumni have become leaders in their fields, occupying positions of authority in Nigeria and working as professionals worldwide.
