Affordable International Schools in Lagos, Nigeria

Lagos’s more affordable international schools sit between premium dollar-priced campuses and purely local private schools, serving a mix of expatriate, corporate and returning-Nigerian families and offering international pathways without the top-tier price tags. The common curricula are British (Cambridge/IGCSE and National Curriculum in adapted form), American programmes and a smaller number of IB offerings, with English as the primary language of instruction and additional language lessons (often French and local languages) available at many campuses. Tuition at the lower-fee end is commonly in the range of several hundred thousand to a few million naira a year, while the most expensive international day schools bill in US dollar equivalents; parents should also expect one-off admission levies, deposits and extra charges for transport, exams and activities. Admissions usually follow the northern-hemisphere school calendar used by most Lagos international schools (entry planning several months ahead of term start), so relocating families should allow time for applications, assessment or records transfer and payment of any development levy.
