"Proper Child International School — nurturing curious minds, confident hearts, and the leaders Nigeria deserves."
Founded in 2011, Proper Child International School was born from a conviction that quality education should not be a privilege of geography or wealth. Nestled in Umuotube Chokota, Igbo Etche, we serve families across Rivers State who refuse to settle for less for their children.
Our approach blends academic rigour with character formation — because a diploma without values is just paper. We graduate young people who are not only prepared for examinations, but prepared for life.
Modern equipment for hands-on practical learning

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. At Proper Child, we tend the roots together — teachers, parents, and children — so the harvest belongs to all of Rivers State.

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood, we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
I pledge to Nigeria my country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity
And uphold her honor and glory
So help me God.
