About international schools in Nigeria
British-curriculum international schools in Nigeria typically combine the English National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage with internationally recognised exam pathways such as Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A-levels; some schools also run parallel Nigerian programmes or prepare students for WAEC/NECO alongside the British pathway. Instruction is almost always in English, with modern foreign languages (commonly French) and Nigerian languages or cultural studies offered at many schools, plus EAL support for non-native speakers. Fees vary widely by city, campus and ownership - many Nigerian-owned British schools sit in the mid-range while fully international or expatriate-oriented campuses can charge significantly more - and schools usually bill per term with a range of extra charges (registration/development levies, transport, uniforms and exam fees). Most schools operate a three-term academic year with a main September intake and limited mid-year entry, and parents relocating to Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt should budget for annual fee increases tied to inflation and possible dollar-linked exam or service charges.
