Every school has a story. At Charterhouse Lagos, ours is one of leadership, tradition, and a deep connection to Nigeria.

We didn’t set out to create just another international school in Lagos. From the beginning, our aim was to blend the legacy of one of the UK’s most respected independent schools with a vision that belongs firmly in Lagos. This is a school designed and built not only to educate, but to inspire and to shape leaders who understand their roots and who are ready to make a difference in the world.

Leadership That Shapes Culture

Strong schools are built on strong leadership. Over the past year, we have assembled a leadership team that brings decades of experience from the UK, Nigeria, and across the world. Our shared belief is simple: great schools are about people, not just buildings.

This philosophy shapes every decision we make. From the way we recruit teachers to how we design learning spaces, our focus is on creating an environment where children feel known, supported, and challenged to be their best. For families, this means confidence — knowing their child is guided by a team with a clear vision and proven expertise.

As we prepare to welcome our first boarding students in September 2025, this leadership is more important than ever. It ensures that the systems we have built are not only effective, but enduring — ready to support students today and in the years to come.

A Legacy with a Local Voice

Charterhouse Lagos carries a proud heritage as the first British independent school in Nigeria. But this is more than just a replica of our UK counterpart — it’s a new expression of its values.

Our curriculum combines British academic excellence with local relevance, including Nigerian and African Studies. Our traditions — of courtesy, service, and integrity — are woven into daily life. This is a school that honours its legacy while embracing its local context.

Parents often tell us that this combination — global standards with local roots — is what makes Charterhouse Lagos unique.

Building for the Future

The future of our school is not abstract — it’s visible right now. Our Secondary School and Boarding House are complete, furnished, and open for tours. Families can walk through real classrooms, see where students will live, and step into spaces designed for growth — from science and STEM labs to our full-size football pitch and Olympic-length swimming pool.

Looking ahead, our Year 10 (IGCSE) and Year 12 (A Level) programmes launch in September 2026. These pathways will prepare students not only for outstanding exam results but for entry into the world’s leading universities — while building leadership, character, and resilience along the way.

An Invitation

At Charterhouse Lagos, we’re not just opening buildings — we’re building something lasting. This is a school where leadership is cultivated, tradition is respected, and every student is encouraged to find their own voice.

We invite you to see it for yourself. Our admissions team is ready to meet families throughout the summer, offering tours and assessments for September 2025 and beyond. Whether you are considering Primary, Secondary Boarding, or looking ahead to Sixth Form, this is the perfect time to discover what makes Charterhouse Lagos different.
