Location
Charterhouse Lagos is situated on a 70-hectare campus in Ogombo on the Lekki peninsula, in the south-eastern part of Lagos. This location places the campus away from the central mainland of the city. The area is accessed via Ogombo Road, providing a distinct boundary from the more heavily congested business districts.

The school is structured into a Primary School for students in Years 1 to 6 (ages 5 to 11) and a Secondary School. Secondary education currently accommodates students in Years 7, 8, and 9, with Year 10 (IGCSE) and Year 12 (A-Levels) opening in September 2026. The structure is designed to support students from age 5 up to 18 years old.

Type
Charterhouse Lagos is a co-educational independent school. It operates as a day school for Primary students and offers both weekly and full termly boarding options for Secondary students starting from Year 7.

Additional learning support

Country affiliation

Scheduled breaks occur throughout the day, during which students are provided with snacks and a lunch prepared by in-house chefs featuring local and international options. Following the afternoon activities, day students depart while boarders transition into their evening routines and dinner.

Bus service
