Greensprings School

One of the few Lagos schools running a full IB Diploma alongside British primary and IGCSE, across three campuses, founded by Olayiwola Koiki in 1985.

Greensprings began as a Montessori with three pupils in 1985 and now runs roughly 3,500 students across Anthony (the original campus), Lekki, and Ikoyi. The senior school offers IGCSE and the IB Diploma, and the founder family still leads the school, with Mrs Lai Koiki as head. CIS accreditation gives the IB programme more weight than most Lagos sixth forms.

Parents who put strong IGCSE students into the IB sixth form usually report a real shift in independence and breadth, and university outcomes back this up. The school is large by Lagos standards, so expect more variation in experience between campuses and year groups than at smaller competitors. Families wanting a tight community sometimes find the Lekki campus in particular feels busy. The IB pathway is the headline reason to choose Greensprings.

• Parent and alumni feedback is broadly positive. Reviews emphasise a well-rounded curriculum across academics, sport and arts, and a holistic philosophy that lines up with how the school markets itself.
• The IB Diploma at the Lekki campus is the headline programme and is the focus of most parent endorsements. One parent credited the IB programme as the foundation for their child's first-class biomedical science degree; another described it as "a prayer answered".
• Pastoral care and character formation come up repeatedly as strengths, including in reviews from staff.
• Tuition is consistently flagged as high, particularly for Lagos families looking at the residential IB option.
• A subset of parents wants better school-to-home communication.
• The reviewable pool is dominated by the school's own channels; independent parent feedback returned little, and no usable comments surfaced elsewhere.
