The first set of students were (80 boys and 35 girls) who began their studies in a block of five classrooms that was released to the Promoter (i.e. Association of Baptist Churches in Ilero, Komu, Baba-Ode and Igbojaiye) who concerned the idea of establishing a Christian Secondary School. The classrooms were released for use by the PTA of 2nd Baptist Primary School, Ojete, Ilero.
