About us

Grundtvig Institute (G.I.) was founded in 1984 by Dr. Kachi E. Ozumba (1942-2011) and later came under the ownership of the Grundtvig Movement of Nigeria. It is a residential post-secondary educational institute, inspired by our traditional education and the Education-for-Life philosophy of N.F.S. Grundtvig of Denmark (1783-1872) after whom the school is named.

The objective of the Grundtvig Institute is to provide “Education for Life” at the post-secondary level. This is education that equips the student with a vocation/profession for the purposes of self employment, paid employment or further education; equips the student with positive attitudes, discipline, self-confidence, awareness and initiative necessary for successful living. Education based on the exploration and development of indigenous culture for the purpose of imbuing the student with cultural pride and confidence.
