Overview (scope and year)
- The school does not publish a detailed, itemised per-term fee schedule publicly for the 2026/27 academic year; the items below reflect the most recent published school communications and commonly reported current fee ranges (2024–2026 reporting).
Application / Registration fees
- One‑time registration / application fee is normally charged at admission; no single, public flat amount for 2026/27 is published. Reported practice for parents includes a one‑time registration/payment on enrolment in line with other private schools in Lagos.
Tuition fees by school stage (reported ranges)
- Early Years / Nursery: annual tuition is commonly reported toward the lower end of the school's published ranges; individual figures are not published publicly for 2026/27.
- Primary (Junior School): reported annual tuition commonly falls within the school's general range; detailed per‑year or per‑term published amounts are not publicly available.
- Secondary (Senior School, including IGCSE/IGCSE preparation years): reported annual tuition commonly falls toward the mid–upper portion of the school's range; specific per‑year breakdowns are not published.
- Commonly reported total tuition range (day students, annual): approximately ₦1,500,000 to ₦2,800,000 per year in publicly available school lists and fee roundups; some market reports and school‑ranking summaries present slightly higher estimates for selected years/stages. These are reported ranges rather than an itemised official schedule.
Per‑term amounts
- The school typically bills on a term basis (three terms per academic year is standard practice); however, no authorised public document listing exact per‑term tuition for each year group for 2026/27 was located. Families typically expect the annual tuition above to be divided across three terms, with additional levies billed separately.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing cadence: fees are normally invoiced by term with payment deadlines linked to term start dates; outstanding balances are expected to be cleared before examinations or term closure. Specific deadline dates and penalty terms for late payment are not published publicly.
- Common practice reported in school communications: parents are reminded to settle outstanding balances before exam periods to avoid disruptions.
Boarding fees (where applicable)
- The school operates hostel/boarding facilities; however, a specific published boarding fee schedule (termly or annual) for 2026/27 is not publicly available. Boarding is referenced in school communications and newsletters, indicating a boarding option exists.

Refund information
- No publicly available, detailed refund or withdrawal policy for tuition, levies, or deposits for 2026/27 was found in publicly accessible school communications. Parents are advised that standard private‑school practice may include limited refundability for certain deposits or levies and non‑refundable registration fees, but the school has not published an itemised refund policy in a publicly accessible fee schedule.
Fee payment options
- Bank transfer (school bank details used for levies and extras are published in school communications): the school has provided payments to Zenith Bank accounts for various levies and extras in recent communications.
- In‑person payments at the school office are referenced as an accepted method (paper applications / in‑person payments for some items). Electronic bank transfer and in‑person payments are the commonly documented options; no public statement confirming card/online card payment gateways for tuition was located.
What is and is not available publicly
- Available: school newsletters and communications list specific exam levies, optional item costs (past question packs, tablets), event levies, and confirm the existence of boarding.
- Not available publicly: a full, itemised per‑year, per‑term official tuition schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (or a downloadable fee schedule with termly breakdowns). The commonly published material from school listings and independent school‑fee roundups provide annual ranges only.
Summary statement for parent reference
- Expect an annual day‑student tuition in the commonly reported range of roughly ₦1,500,000 to ₦2,800,000, billed by term (three terms), with separate, additional levies for external exam registration, past question packs, event levies, and optional purchases (tablet, trips).
