About Our Guest
Daniel Olushola is the founder and former headmaster of Reformation Wall School. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Covenant University and was trained in Business Management and Entrepreneurship by African Management Initiate (AMI), Kenya, and Global Business Foundation, Nigeria.

Daniel Olushola is reforming education in Nigeria. What started as a small gathering in a two-bedroom apartment has grown into a thriving classical Christian school in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.

In our interview, we observed that Daniel constantly uses one phrase throughout our conversation: "I'm still learning."  We are delighted that Daniel and his staff have taken on the task of learning and bringing classical education to their part of the world. We hope you are encouraged by hearing the story of Reformation Wall School. Please visit the school's website here if you want to see more and support this good work.

Some topics and ideas in this episode include:

• The state of education (materially and philosophically) in Nigeria
• How discovering a Youtube video about a classical Christian school in the states encouraged Daniel to investigate classical education for his own country
