ST. MARTIN DE PORRES EDUCATIONAL SERVICE (A Legacy of Excellence)
St. Martin De Porres School has been a respected centre of learning since its establishment in 1973 by Mrs. Florence Laast, with the support of her late husband, Mr. William Laast. The school was named after Martin de Porres, one of the few Black saints in the Catholic tradition, widely known for his humility, compassion, and dedication to serving others.
These values continue to inspire the spirit and culture of the school today. What began with just 17 pupils has grown into a thriving educational institution that now serves over 1,200 students annually, providing quality education from Nursery, Kindergarten through Junior High and Lower Secondary School.
For more than four decades, St. Martin De Porres School has remained committed to nurturing disciplined, confident, and responsible learners who are prepared to contribute positively to society.
Our Vision for Modern Education
Education today must go beyond textbooks and examinations. At St. Martin De Porres School, we believe that students must develop the knowledge, skills, and character needed to succeed in an increasingly global and technology-driven world.
Guided by our motto, “Knowledge and Wisdom,” the school is committed to providing a learning environment that is happy, secured, and safe, where students are active participants in their own learning.
Our approach to education encourages curiosity, independent thinking, creativity, and strong moral values, ensuring that students grow academically while also developing the confidence to lead and serve.
Our Campuses
St. Martin De Porres School operates across two vibrant campuses—Dansoman and WestHills—both dedicated to delivering the same high standard of academic excellence and character development.
Dansoman Campus
The Dansoman Campus, the historic home of the school, has nurtured generations of successful learners since the institution’s founding, while the West Hills Campus reflects the school’s continued growth and commitment to expanding access to quality education. Across both campuses, students benefit from experienced teachers, structured academic programmes, and a supportive environment designed to help every learner thrive and reach their full potential
