We believe every child deserves a future worth dreaming about.

Propella Schools began with a simple conviction: a child’s potential should never be limited by their family’s financial circumstances.

We are building more than a school. We are building access, dignity, confidence, and possibilities for the next generation.

Why we started Propella.

Across Nigeria, millions of children face barriers to education because their families cannot afford school fees, books, uniforms, and other essentials. For these children, the challenge is not a lack of intelligence, ambition, or dreams. It is a lack of opportunity.

Propella was created to change that reality.

We believe every child deserves a classroom, a teacher who believes in them, and the freedom to imagine a future beyond their present circumstances.

THE FOUNDER

A legacy built through purposeful action.

Propella Schools was founded by Apostle Emmanuel Iren, founder of Celebration Church International. Driven by the conviction that education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives, he envisioned a school where children could access quality learning without the burden of tuition. Propella reflects a commitment to take impact beyond words and into communities, creating opportunities that can shape generations.

A vision became a classroom

On September 15, 2025, Celebration Church International launched Propella Schools at Celebr8 Centre, Ibadan, Oyo State.

What began as a vision to make quality education accessible became a reality as our first students walked into their classrooms.

We opened with approximately 80 children across Primary One to Four, laying the foundation for a school built around access, excellence, and purpose.

The first school bell marked more than the beginning of a school day. It marked the beginning of a legacy.

THE FOUNDER

To make quality education accessible to every child, regardless of their circumstances.

We provide a safe, engaging, and high-quality learning environment where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Through strong academics, values-based teaching, and thoughtful technology, we build knowledge, confidence, creativity, and character.

OUR VISION

A generation equipped to learn, lead, and make a difference.

We envision confident, curious, and purpose-driven learners who grow in excellence and character, equipped to shape their communities and contribute meaningfully to the world.

THE ROAD AHEAD

One school is the beginning. A nationwide legacy is the goal.

Propella’s long-term vision is to establish 50 schools across Nigeria, bringing free, quality education closer to children and families who need it. Every school represents another community reached, another child empowered, and another future opened. We are building toward a Nigeria where access to education is not determined by where a child is born or what their family earns.

The Reality

About 19 million Nigerian children are out of school.

That’s nearly one in three primary-age children. Behind every number is a child with dreams, curiosity, and potential waiting to be discovered. For many families, the cost of education remains a barrier between their children and the future they deserve.

You can be the reason a child keeps dreaming.

Together, we can create a world where a child’s dreams are not limited by their circumstances. Help us propel a legacy of possibilities, one child at a time. Help Us Make It Possible
