Celebrating 10 years of placing brilliant minds in world-class institutions. This is a milestone dedicated to the ecosystem that made it possible: the visionaries, the parents, and the strategic partners who define our community.
Our story began with a singular vision: to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. Over the last decade, Brains & Butter has evolved from a small, passionate team into a premier consultancy, navigating the complexities of global admissions with integrity. Today, we look back not just at the years passed, but at the hundreds of futures we have helped secure.
Discover the best of global education - Over three intensive days, connect directly with admissions directors from elite UK boarding schools and engage with high-profile Nigerian business leaders and partners. This is the premier platform for strategic alliances, networking, and forging key professional and educational alliances.
The ultimate test of readiness for global excellence. This highly competitive challenge pits students against complex real-world scenarios in an individual competition. The winner, crowned during the Gala Night, will demonstrate the caliber of Nigerian talent ready for the world stage.
The pinnacle of the 10th Anniversary Celebration - Join us for an evening of elegance and celebration as we recognize the outstanding achievements of our students, alumni, and community partners. A premium night dedicated to honoring excellence and fostering key connections.
Participate in focused sessions led by industry experts and educational strategists. These seminars offer actionable insights on topics ranging from advanced placement strategies to preparing students for the evolving demands of the 21st-century global market.
