About us

We are here to help parents raise happy and smart children

Support for your child through the most important years, from early years to Primary

De Royalville Signet School was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves the tools to read, speak, and think with confidence. Located in Arigbawonwo, Mowe, Ogun State, we set out to create a school where phonics-based literacy and hands-on discovery work hand in hand to shape well-rounded, capable learners.

We chose our name deliberately. “Royalville” speaks to the dignity and potential we see in every child, and “Signet” is a mark of authenticity and distinction that reflects the standard of excellence we hold ourselves to. Our motto, Royalty and Excellence, is not just a phrase. It is a daily commitment to how we teach, how we care, and how we prepare our pupils for the future.

Founder & Head of School

Esther Akinola founded De Royalville Signet School because she believes every child can learn to read, speak, and think with confidence when taught the right way.

Today she leads the school with a focus on strong phonics teaching, kind discipline, and learning that children can see and touch.

“At De Royalville Signet School, we transform learning by combining textbooks with engaging, practical activities that help your child truly understand and apply each concept.”

Our Approach to Learning

Responsible

We help children take ownership of their actions, their belongings, and their learning, one small step at a time

Inclusive

Every child is welcome. We adjust our teaching to each child’s pace and needs so no one is left behind.

Respectful

We treat every child with dignity and teach them to do the same for others, building good manners early

Collaborative

We work closely with parents, teachers, and children, because a child does best when home and school pull in the same direction.

Vision

To raise confident, articulate, and independent learners through effective phonics instruction and engaging hands-on learning experiences.

Mission

We are committed to providing quality education through systematic phonics teaching that enables early reading, fostering clear and correct speech, and promoting practical, hands-on learning that nurtures every child's potential.

What parents say
