It's beginning to look like Christmas

It’s almost that time of the year again, and we’re excited!

Christmas has always been a special time to reflect on the good things, celebrate annual traditions, have fun, and connect with friends and family. It’s also a time in a child’s life when memories, experiences, and emotions are created, which, in turn, shape who they become in the future.

Charterhouse Lagos believes in promoting academic rigour, developing intellectual curiosity, nurturing children and their ability and desire to learn independently. This is why we have put together a list of five creative ways you can make this Christmas a learning arc for your kids.
