We believe that schools should not merely survive in challenging economic environments — they should thrive.

Our Story

Built to Solve a Real Problem

Running a school today requires far more than academic excellence. School owners face rising operational costs, increasing expectations from parents, staff welfare responsibilities, and constant pressure to remain competitive.

At the same time, many schools still rely heavily on tuition fees as their only revenue source, leaving them vulnerable to economic shifts.

Connect One was created to solve this problem.

The platform was developed through collaboration between Parallex Bank, TLM Africa, and a consortium of education and business experts, who recognized the need for a comprehensive support system for schools.

Together, we built a platform that provides schools with access to:

  • Financial support
  • Strategic partnerships
  • Executive education
  • Staff welfare programs
  • Parent engagement solutions
  • New revenue opportunities

Our Partners

Connect One was born from a bold collaboration between industry leaders who shared one conviction: Nigerian schools deserve a world-class support ecosystem.
