Head of School
Gbemi Olowookere, the Head of School at Chalcedony School, is an experienced and passionate administrator and teacher, whose wise insights reflect the many years she has spent grooming young minds.
Having served in the educational sector in a vibrant career spanning over thirty years, her passion and commitment to children’s success goes without dispute.
Her radiant journey in the pedagogy started at LadyBird Nursery and Primary School, Gbagada Estate, Lagos. Afterwards, she joined Corona School, Victoria Island, Lagos, where she spent 10 years nurturing young minds. She then moved on to Lekki British Junior School, Lagos.
However, in search of more administrative experience, Gbemi Olowookere departed for Attwool Sunflower Schools in 2004, serving as Head of School for seven and a half years before leaving to fulfill her vision of starting a center of holistic learning. Thus, Chalcedony School was birthed.
Although she could easily have chosen any other profession, Gbemi Olowookere’s undying love for children meant that teaching was the only profession that could give her true joy and fulfilment.
She has many professional certifications to her credit, both home and abroad, and she is also an alumnus of Lagos Business School (OMP 24).
Gbemi Olowookere is married to her husband of 28 years, Dr. Akin Olowookere. Their union is blessed with two lovely children.
