Sport and physical education promote self-confidence, effort, fair play and teamwork. Achievements are recognised in assemblies and through certificates and public praise.

In the IB Diploma Programme, the language of teaching and learning is English.

Canterbury International Schools serves learners aged 3 to 16 with a three-curriculum approach: the British Curriculum, the Nigerian Curriculum, and a Christian Curriculum. The school supports students through early years, primary, and lower secondary education, aligning learning experiences with the respective curricular frameworks. The British Curriculum component provides a clear subject structure and progression, while the Nigerian Curriculum ensures exposure to national standards. The Christian Curriculum integrates values-based learning within academic subjects, offering a distinctive educational emphasis. Because three curricula are offered under one school framework, families can seek continuity across key stages without changing schools, and students can benefit from exposure to multiple curricular perspectives within a single community. Canterbury International Schools aims to balance local requirements with an international context, fostering foundational skills, subject knowledge, and a sense of community across a multi-curriculum environment.
