In brief
A Christian-values secondary and sixth-form on the Lekki Peninsula, with strong IGCSE prep and a small boarding programme.
Edgewood opened in 2010 as a sixth-form college and added a secondary school later, running across two Lekki Phase 1 campuses. The curriculum mix is wide: IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels, an Ontario Secondary School Diploma stream, and university foundation pathways for UK, US, and medicine routes. Families looking for varied destination preparation under one roof tend to land here.
Parents praise the teachers as committed and approachable, and single out the extra evening and weekend classes that staff run before IGCSE exams. Christian formation is woven through daily life, so families who want that explicitly will feel at home and families who don't may find it heavier than expected. Boarding facilities are well-equipped with en-suite rooms and 24/7 power, and parents describe the boarding experience as confidence-building.
Reviews
- Parents and former students describe Edgewood as an academically serious, residential Christian secondary, with daily devotions and a clearly stated religious identity at its core.
- Teaching and IGCSE preparation get specific praise, including weekend and evening classes laid on before exams.
- The boarding experience comes through as the formative piece for many pupils: friendships, responsibility and routine, alongside a wide co-curricular programme.
- Reviews concentrate on the secondary and sixth-form sides; signal on individual cohorts or recent staffing is thinner than the overall reputation suggests.
