In Brief
The best-value internationally recognised school in Lagos for most families: NGN 2-4 million per year for British curriculum and IGCSE, with IB Diploma also available. Three campuses, 3,600 students and Nigeria's first accredited Thinking School - this is where Lagos's professional class sends its children.
Founded in 1985, Greensprings runs three campuses (Anthony Village, Ikoyi, Lekki-Awoyaya) and takes children from creche through IB Diploma. The British National Curriculum runs from primary through IGCSE, with IB Diploma added at Sixth Form; the school is also Nigeria's first Sapere-accredited Thinking School and holds MACTE accreditation for its Montessori pre-school. IB Diploma results consistently beat the world average, and Greensprings students have earned Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards.
Fees are paid in naira and are a fraction of the USD-billed schools: primary runs from roughly NGN 2.8 million per year and secondary from NGN 4.2 million, making Greensprings accessible to Nigerian professional families and longer-term expats who want to avoid dollar exposure. IB Year 12-13 fees are approximately NGN 8.57 million for full boarding at Lekki. Scholarships are available.
The main Anthony Village campus is the hub but can feel busy with 3,600 students spread across sites. Sport (swimming, football, basketball, tennis) and the Duke of Edinburgh Award feature strongly. Greensprings feeds UK, US and Canadian universities; ask about recent IB results by subject and which campus your child would attend.
What parents value
- –Best-value IB and IGCSE option in Lagos; fees in NGN avoid USD exchange-rate risk. Nigeria's first Sapere Thinking School; MACTE Montessori accreditation for pre-school.
- –IB Diploma results beat the world average; Cambridge Outstanding Learner Award winners. Three campuses; scholarships available; Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Points of consideration
- –Three campuses means experience can vary; confirm which site your child attends and visit that campus specifically.
- –At 3,600 students across campuses, class sizes and resource availability are worth asking about - particularly in popular secondary year groups.
