We are a Christ-centred classical independent school discipling children in Godly character, academic excellence and leadership skills.

Our Mission:
Our mission is to educate and disciple our children so that the spirit that was on Jesus will be seen in them.

Classical Christian Education:
In a rapidly changing world, where education often prioritises the latest trends, classical Christian education stands as a beacon of enduring wisdom and truth. It’s more than just a method - it’s a philosophy that nurtures the whole person: mind, heart, and soul. By grounding young people in the richness of the liberal arts and the Great Books, we equip them with the tools of learning, fostering critical thinking, eloquence, and a love for truth. But it doesn’t stop there. At the heart of classical Christian education is the integration of faith and learning, shaping young minds to not only succeed in their careers but to live virtuous and meaningful lives.

Our Co-Founder:
Afolabi Joseph is an educational consultant and former deputy headteacher of a school with 1800 students. Throughout his career he has led on the rapid progress in the journey of schools in three London boroughs and a school in Essex: these schools include Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ schools which attained ‘World Class Schools’ status, to schools moving from Ofsted’s ‘Special Measures’ criteria to ‘Good’ in 15 months of him joining. He has been directly approached to lead in schools in difficulty and has consistently led schools to ‘Good’ judgements.
He holds a national professional qualification in headship (NPQH), a Masters in English Education and a BA in English and American Literature. He is also a Chartered Educational Assessor, a fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching and a former writer for the SSAT (School, Students and Teacher’s Network).

Afolabi Joseph’s commitment to The Light Christian School has led him to forgo a salary for his work for The Light Christian School charity.
