International school fees — your questions

How much are international school fees in Nigeria?+

Typical annual tuition at an international school in Nigeria is NGN 1,503,000, with most schools charging between NGN 600,000 and NGN 2,500,000 a year. The full range runs from NGN 1 to NGN 21,700,000.

Do international school fees increase as children get older?+

Yes. Fees almost always rise from early years through to sixth form, reflecting more specialist teaching, smaller classes and exam programmes in the senior years. The age-group breakdown above shows the typical step-up in Nigeria.

What isn't included in the tuition fee?+

Published tuition usually excludes one-off costs such as application and registration fees, a refundable deposit, uniforms, school buses, meals, trips and exam entry. Ask each school for a full fee schedule before you budget.

Are more expensive international schools better?+

Not necessarily. Fees reflect facilities, location, teacher pay and brand as much as academic outcomes. doris is impartial and takes no placement fees — compare curriculum, class sizes, results and fit, not just price.

Which curriculum is cheapest in Nigeria?+

It varies. The by-curriculum breakdown above shows typical fees for each programme taught in Nigeria, so you can see how, say, a British-curriculum school compares with an IB school on price.
