Canterbury runs from creche through high school, with the senior years pointing students at IGCSE and Cambridge Checkpoint exams. The school describes itself in explicitly Christian terms and weaves faith into daily life, which is a real fit-or-not factor for families considering it. Facilities cover the basics for a primary-into-lower-secondary school: basketball court, computer lab, library, playground, and a sick bay, with school bus service for the Lekki-Ajah corridor.

Public independent review volume is thin and most Canterbury commentary online is school-published or from local directories rather than candid parent voice. The school sits in a price tier well below the headline names like BIS Lagos and AISL, which makes it a working-family option in the fast-growing Ajah catchment. Visit, ask about IGCSE results across the last three years, and meet current parents to get a clear read.
