History of
Gloryfield and its School

Gloryfield International College, Ile-Oluji was founded by a renowned Educationist and Economist Late Olori Assistant Pastor Florence Olanireti Adedugbe, a graduate of the University of London (BA 1967), PGDE, University of Lagos (1978) and PGDT RCCG 2003. She retired from the Federal Inspectorate of Education in 1995.

The college is located in a serene and peaceful Oke-Alaafia West, now Oba S.S. Adedugbe Way, Ile-Oluji. At this location, the college is close to the major road linking Ile-Oluji to Osun state and is about four kilometres to Ondo town and 40 kilometres to Akure, the Ondo state capital.

On 23rd August, 1993, the Ondo state Government gave approval to establish the college as a co-educational institution. The college was also accredited by the National Board for Educational Measurement, now NECO in 1996 to take NECO conducted JSC examination. Likewise, on 12th March, 1998, the Ondo state Government accredited the college for Science, Liberal Arts, Business and Technical Studies.

The college is fully accredited by both WAEC and NECO for the Senior School Certificate Examinations. Infact, the excellent performances of Gloryfield students in these external examinations and the outstanding performances of Gloryfield products in their different tertiary institutions are the testimonials of the excellence of the college products in every sphere of life.

At our skill acquisition centres, Gloryfield offers the talented students the necessary human resources and tools for becoming successful and outstanding in their future careers.

The vision of the late Proprietress was to bring up children who will be God-fearing, disciplined and successful assets and leaders both nationally and internationally in a rapidly changing world. At Gloryfield, the vision is to make students enjoy the experience of an extra-ordinary discovery of themselves and their potentials to become responsible, disciplined, confident, self-reliant products and accountable leaders.

Towards high academic excellence, students’ academic records are continuously monitored and evaluated by teachers. Teachers attend workshops and seminars on how to be more effective and productive in a constantly changing world of information.

In Gloryfield we depend on God for our academic success and discipline. The proprietress, staff and students have a complete dependence on the Almighty God, the custodian of wisdom. We have achieved all things through Him.

Since the inception of Gloryfield, the school has never experience any hitch of closure. We praise the Almighty God for His mercy and loving kindness.

Over the years, the college has lived and maintain a high moral standard and academic excellence which have put her on a high pedestal among her peers. The school is noted for general cleanliness. In sports and other co-curricular activities, the college remain a force to be reckoned with. It is indeed wonderful that every year of her existence, Gloryfield has witnessed greater accomplishments over the previous years.

On the 31st day of October, 2020, the Proprietress, Olori Florence Olanireti Adedugbe heed the heaven’s call after a successful and purposeful sojourn on earth. She was a great mother, grandmother, proprietress, counsellor and conﬁdant. To date, the whole family, community, staff and students of Gloryﬁeld International College still reminisces about the good life of inﬂuence and impact she lived up till her last hours.
