Banana Island International School

A small purpose-built British-curriculum school on Banana Island for children from 15 months to 13 years.

The school follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage and the British national curriculum through Key Stage 2 and into Key Stage 3, with the headline being location and class size rather than scale. Banana Island itself is a gated, high-end residential enclave in Ikoyi, and the school primarily serves families living on the island and immediate environs. Year 1 phonics screening results at the school have run at full pass rates in recent cohorts.

Reputation among parents on the island is generally warm, with feedback centred on individual teacher attention, settling support for new arrivals, and academic pace ahead of UK norms in early reading. Public independent review volume is limited, so most testimony comes via the school itself or word of mouth among Banana Island residents. Families typically transition out at 13 to a senior school elsewhere in Lagos.
