Pampers Private School

A long-established Lagos nursery and primary, founded in 1983 by Oludolapo Odunlami around Montessori principles and now grown to over 700 students across two campuses in Surulere and Lekki.

The harmonised curriculum blends Cambridge primary and the Nigerian system, taking children from twelve months through to Year 6. Past cohorts have done well in national mathematics olympiads and spelling competitions, and the school holds the British Council International School Award.

Strongest fit for Nigerian professional families on the mainland and on the island who want a structured early-years and primary route with a local heritage feel rather than an expat international one. Families will need to plan a secondary school transfer at the end of primary, since the school does not run a senior section.
