Our heritage

History

Rev. Ezekiel Festus O’Reilly, a Sierra Leonean Anglican Priest, established the O’Reilly Educational Institute (as it was first known) in August 1925. The school’s first home can still be seen in the area known as Korle Wokon, north of Ussher Town. Here, Barrister Silas Dove, Rev. O’Reilly’s first sponsor, had a large house opposite what was then the Full Swing Factory at the north end of Zongo Lane. He incited Rev. O’Reilly to use the basement of his home as starting place for the new school.
