Applications for a place at CIS are accepted throughout the year. Each offer of a place requires a formal application, a meeting with senior staff and, for all but the youngest children, an entrance examination. Examinations are scheduled as follows: Year 7 testing takes place in November and January prior to entry; Sixth Form scholarship papers are taken in March; assessments for all other year groups are scheduled throughout the year. CIS is academically selective and early applications are strongly recommended.
Sixth Form: Scholarship papers are taken in March each year.
Canadian International School Lagos provides a multi-curriculum approach on a single secure campus, combining Canadian and Montessori principles with a bespoke English National Curriculum framework adapted for local heritage. The Junior School (Nursery to Year 6), Senior School (Year 7–11) and a Sixth Form College operate on one site, with purpose-built classrooms and dedicated teaching teams.

A vibrant extracurricular programme includes sports, music, drama and arts, while African Studies connects learners to regional heritage.
