History of Preston International School Akure Ondo Nigeria
The school is named after a city in England – Preston. Preston was founded by priests and as such was called “Priests’ Town” and was later shortened to “Preston”. Priests are consecrated, self-less people, whose main duty is to serve God and man.
They believe that this is the highest level of human achievement – service to God and man. ‘Prestonians’ therefore, are ladies and gentlemen who are being brought up to serve our nation selflessly with a sense of true patriotism and an abhorrence of the selfish attitudes and narrow-mindedness prevalent in society today.
