The Journey
With thirteen students and four
members of staff, the gates of Ota
Total Academy were thrown wide
open for the commencement of school activities.
The founder, Chief A. A. Babasanya (the former
Principal, Iganmode Grammar school) had
envisioned a school which will uphold the
principles of high academic and moral standard
which Iganmode, a public school which he
administered typified. And on Monday, 17th of
September, 2001, the dream was born when the
then Principal Mrs. S.O.A. Ayeni stood to address
the inaugural assembly of O.T.A students.
Driven by the sheer will and experience of its
founder, the school marched through the
conventional challenges posed by the
educational system to establish itself as a
school of first choice for primary school
leavers.
In doing so, the school has stuck religiously to
its slogan “strictly for the serious-minded” – a
reflection of its belief in regulating admission
and academic policies to preferentially suit
students who can cope with the rigours of the
school.
