THE MARIST BROTHERS:

The Marist Brothers (Little Brothers of Mary) are a group of consecrated lay religious men in the Roman Catholic Church. They were founded in France by a French Priest, Marcellin Joseph Benedict Champagnat. The charism of the Marist Brothers is Christian Education of the youth, especially those most deprived. The Marist Brothers are thus educators who try to give holistic education to their pupils and students. The Marist Brothers work in Pre-schools, Basic Schools, Secondary and Tertiary institutions.

HISTORY

The establishment of Marist Preparatory/Junior High School was the brainchild of Rev. Bro. Hyacinth Okoro. The idea received the blessing of the then Sector Superior Rev. Bro. Andrew Iwuagwu, who charged Rev. Bro. Daniel Osei Kwadwo to put things in place for the takeoff of the school.

The school was started on 15^th September, 1997 in a small hall built by the Marist Brothers’ Formation Centre, Sabin - Akrofrom. The hall was partitioned in order to get rooms for the eighty pupils in the nursery, kindergarten and primary one classes.
