Olashore International School, in its quest at becoming the centre for teacher training in Nigeria, continues to redefine learning and teaching methods in schools. One way this is being achieved is the OIS Teacher Training Program. The program is a 2-session training on improving the pedagogical skills of participants and reinforcing excellent teaching practices in the classrooms. Participants are drawn from partner primary schools and public primary schools in rural areas where opportunities for such training may be unreachable. Themes such as group work, modelling, and assessment for learning will form major milestones in the 6-terms long training. The program is expected to  continue online with virtual interactions between facilitators and participants before the end of the 2016/17 academic session. The Chairman, Board of Governors, Prince Bimbo Olashore, stated that "Olashore International School is a leading academic institution where leaders are made by providing our students with life skills, leadership training, arts, sports and global exposure while preserving our core Nigerian culture and societal values." Since its inception 20 years ago, OIS has been redefining education through its comprehensive teaching and learning community approach, high quality instructors and keen emphasis on students’ leadership development. The school is particularly appealing to discerning Nigerians at home and abroad, as well as expatriates residing in Nigeria, who desire a school with a strong value system, demonstrable track record and a clear sense of purpose.
