The co-curriculum at Olives Academy is not an afterthought. It is where character is most vividly formed — and where students most often surprise themselves.
Every student at Olives Academy participates in at least two co-curricular activities. Not because it's required — but because we believe the classroom is only half the story.
Football, basketball, table tennis, athletics, swimming, and more. We compete at interschool, state, and national levels — and we compete to win, but always with sportsmanship first.
Our debate club produces some of the most articulate young speakers in Oyo State. Students compete in the Cowbell Competition, Model UN, and our own invitational tournament.
School choir, instrumental groups, drama society, and our annual Arts Festival — all are led by students and supported by specialist teachers.
From robotics to environmental science projects, our STEM club enters national competitions and runs the school's student-led innovation fair each term.
Painting, sculpture, graphic design, and photography — the arts are taken seriously here. We exhibit student work termly and enter national art competitions.
Every Olives student completes at least one term of structured community service. We believe leadership points outward — into the community, not just upward.
Named after four of Nigeria's greatest minds — the houses at Olives Academy are more than a competition system. They are a lesson in identity, legacy, and belonging.
Named for the man who gave Africa its own story back. Achebe House stands for truth-telling, craft, and the courage to speak clearly.
Named for the grandmother of activism in Nigeria. Ransome-Kuti House stands for service, justice, and the belief that education liberates.

Come and see student life at Olives Academy for yourself — during term time so you see the school as it really is.
