About The Academy

Brighthouse Academy, a flagship initiative of the Oladele Oyelola Foundation, represents a legacy project aimed at transforming education in Okun land.  The Foundation recently finalized the construction of key infrastructure for the establishment of Brighthouse Academy in Ayetoro-Gbede.  Collaborating with renowned international consultants, the Academy boasts state-of-the-art educational facilities designed to meet the demands of 21st-century learning.

 

Situated on a sprawling five-hectare expanse of land, the Academy is primed for future expansions to accommodate its vision of providing tuition-free, integrated foundational education. It will cater to Nursery, Primary, Secondary, and technical education, emphasizing quality and competence-based learning for underprivileged students across Okun land. Upon full

operation, the school aims to enroll approximately 2,000 students spanning these educational tiers.

 

The Oladele Oyelola Foundation, a non-profit, non-governmental organization, focuses on Education, Healthcare, and Youth & Women empowerment. Since its inception in 2007, the Foundation has been dedicated to offering young individuals the opportunity to realize their aspirations. Echoing the sentiments of Nelson Mandela, the Foundation believes in the transformative power of education as a tool to combat poverty and foster independence in Okun land.

 

Over the years, the Foundation has successfully executed numerous projects in various educational institutions, including Community High School in Ayetoro-Gbede, Iyah-Gbede Primary School, and Ansarudeen Primary School in Ayegunle-Gbede.

Additionally, the Foundation spearheaded the renovation of General Hospital in Ayetoro-Gbede and granted scholarships to numerous financially challenged students at secondary and post-secondary levels.
