A Legacy of Excellence, Innovation, and Global Education

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Lagos, Charterhouse Lagos is proud to be the first British Independent School in Nigeria. More than a school, we are a community where children are seen, known, and supported as they grow into confident, compassionate leaders. With a strong foundation in British academic standards and timeless values, we offer families an exceptional learning journey grounded in care, character, and curiosity.

Rooted in a Remarkable Legacy

Charterhouse Lagos is part of the historic Charterhouse family of schools—one of Britain‘s original seven boarding schools, with a proud heritage stretching back over 400 years. This tradition of excellence inspires everything we do. It’s not just about delivering a world-class education; it’s about shaping young people who will leave their mark on the world. We blend the wisdom of the past with innovative teaching, ensuring every child is ready for whatever the future brings.

A Curriculum That Nurtures Potential

Our curriculum, grounded in the National Curriculum for England and enriched by global best practice, is thoughtfully designed to ignite a love of learning while encouraging personal growth. The British curriculum is admired for its depth, flexibility, and high standards—and we bring it to life through engaging, hands-on learning.From primary school to secondary school, students are supported to think deeply, explore bravely, and grow in confidence. Our offering includes STEM, languages like Mandarin and French, Nigerian and African studies, and much more—all helping children become thoughtful, creative, and adaptable global citizens.

Small Classes, Big Impact

Every child deserves to feel seen and valued. That’s why we keep our class sizes optimal, giving each student the attention they need to thrive. Our teachers get to know each child as an individual—what excites them, what challenges them, and how to help them shine. This personalised approach creates a nurturing space where confidence grows, questions are welcomed, and every learner is empowered.
