The philosophy of Yintab group of schools is based on the idea of aiding every child learn in a planned educational environment set out to help young children reach their full spiritual and worldly potentials. These assist them to develop their own unique personalities and a strong sense of self worth. The schools are set up to provide education for the total being of the individual child, i.e., the social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, moral, and physical development of the child. By this we shall be able to turn the best out of every child. This is also catered for through positive motivation and guidance from the teachers. Yintab, as a group of schools, cares for the pupils as individuals, their academic progress, welfare, happiness, and conduct. The happy, purposeful atmosphere is a key feature of the school which is recognized by visitors as soon as they visit the schools. All the teaching staff at Yintab are fully qualified to teach the appropriate classes. Their qualification range from Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE) trained for the younger children up to Bachelors Honours degree. The headmistresses of the schools, are degree holders in Guidance and Counseling. All our staff are trained and experienced. The proprietress of the school is an experienced teacher with an honours degree in (child development) and Masters degree (Guidance and Counselling). All the children of the schools are Nigerians. The children are being encouraged to put a lot of effort into their academic work and to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. As they progress through the school, they are given ever-increasing opportunities to take on responsibilities such as becoming a class monitor or a school prefect so that they can leave Yintab to go out into the world as responsible ambassadors. The teachers are responsible for the general conduct and care of their classes. High standard of conduct is insisted upon and maintained. There is mutual respect between the teaching staff and students. Problems of discipline are few, when they occur, are well handled. Before problems get out of hand, parents are contacted.

Yintab Private Academy started as Yintab Nursery and Primary school, Shogunle, Lagos, on 8th January, 1990. The school was founded by Babafemi Adesina Badejo and Adejumoke Badejo. Both founders were involved in teaching at different levels of education in Nigeria at that time. They saw the downward trend in the standard of education in Nigeria and the inadequacy of facilities for many children, especially from the depressed areas of Lagos. They also sensed that a school plays a significant role in the development of a child. A good and solid educational foundation will equip the child and give him/her the needed opportunities for self-improvement. They decided to make a difference by establishing a fee paying school. At the inception of the school, two trained teachers were employed and admissions were given to twelve pupils. The first school at Shogunle was situated on a plot of land at 7 Alhaji Ajani Street, Shogunle, Lagos. The school plant then, comprised of a bungalow with 8 classrooms. As the population grew, the building was redesigned into a two-story structure housing 16 classrooms and offices. The school has since expanded in 1998, to a larger property at Owutu, Ikorodu, Lagos, with many modern structures and facilities to meet the needs of a 21st century child. Further developments on the premises beyond the initial crèche, nursery and primary education in a two-storey building saw the beginning of the Junior Secondary School in September 2002. The secondary school has since been approved by the Lagos State Government as well as the two examination bodies in the country, i.e., The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO). A major expansion on infrastructures has seen the building of standard laboratories and another three-storey building which accommodates the library, ICT suite, Home Economics laboratory, Music Room, Art Studio, Offices and Boys’ Hostel. A two-storey building houses the Girls' Hostel. In further pursuit of the vision of the founders, a major reengineering of the processes of the school commenced in March 2010, resulted in the birth of a stronger brand called YINTAB PRIVATE ACADEMY (YPA) with the introduction of the British Curriculum at both the Primary and Secondary levels culminating in the IGCSE. The need to develop individuals who are capable, productive and able to make contributions to the society has resulted in the introduction of an Afterschool programme that helps students to discover their innate talents, build self confidence and develop Emotional Intelligence. The new brand was unveiled on 12th May 2011.
