IGCSE to Sixth Form
Our Careers and Higher Education Guidance team provides tailored advice to ensure every student’s path aligns with their strengths, aspirations, and future goals.
This guidance ensures a seamless progression from Key Stage 4 to Sixth Form and onwards to the world’s leading universities.
In the Sixth Form, students undertake A Levels, preparing for admission into prestigious universities across the UK, US, Canada, and Europe.
Year 12: Students may select 3 or 4 AS Level subjects. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) may be chosen as a fourth subject.
Year 13: Students typically continue with 3 A2 Level subjects. A fourth A2 subject may be taken, though many students choose to focus on three.
Beyond lessons
The breadth of our Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) reflects the depth of learning beyond the classroom, offering students diverse opportunities to explore creativity, leadership, sport, wellbeing, and intellectual curiosity across all age groups.

We offer: Weekly Boarding (Monday–Friday), and Full Boarding (24/7).
Boarding available for students from Year 5.
Our boarding staff combine pastoral care and academic support to ensure every boarder thrives emotionally, physically, and intellectually while enjoying the security of a nurturing environment.
“Boarding is more than accommodation—it is belonging, discovery, and growth.”
Care and protection
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare and well being of our students is a collective responsibility here at Charterhouse Lagos, and as such, is everyone’s responsibility.
Safeguarding is proactively protecting our children in every aspect of their emotional, intellectual, physical and moral development and welfare.
Keeping our students safe is central to everything that we do and we comply with State and National legal or other requirements for safeguarding as well as following international best practice.
We also meet all standards required for international accreditation.
