In brief
A mainland Lagos private school in Okota running the Nigerian and British curricula through to IGCSE, with a track record of top-in-the-world Cambridge IGCSE subject results in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
The academic spine is Cambridge Checkpoint and IGCSE alongside the Nigerian Basic Education Certificate and Senior Secondary Certificate examinations. Recent cohorts have produced finalists at the World STEM Olympiad and the World Mathletics Competition, which is unusual for a school at this fee level.
Catchment is local Nigerian middle-class families from Isolo, Okota, and Ejigbo, rather than the expat island circuit. The campus is functional rather than showpiece, but academic outcomes for motivated students are competitive with much pricier schools further south. A pragmatic choice for families who care more about IGCSE results than facility polish.
