Charterhouse Lagos

Charterhouse Lagos is situated on a 70-hectare campus in Ogombo on the Lekki peninsula, in the south-eastern part of Lagos. This location places the campus away from the central mainland of the city. The area is accessed via Ogombo Road, providing a distinct boundary from the more heavily congested business districts.

The school is structured into a Primary School for students in Years 1 to 6 (ages 5 to 11) and a Secondary School. Secondary education currently accommodates students in Years 7, 8, and 9, with Year 10 (IGCSE) and Year 12 (A-Levels) opening in September 2026. The structure is designed to support students from age 5 up to 18 years old.

Charterhouse Lagos is a co-educational independent school. It operates as a day school for Primary students and offers both weekly and full termly boarding options for Secondary students starting from Year 7.

The school requires parents to disclose any known learning difficulties during the admissions process so that appropriate accommodations can be planned. Teachers adapt lessons to individual requirements, and the maximum class size of 24 allows for targeted feedback and personalized learning steps.

The school is affiliated with the United Kingdom, delivering the British Curriculum as a direct member of the Charterhouse UK family of schools.

The school has no specific religious affiliation and accepts students of all denominations and faiths. While on-site worship is not accommodated, the school provides a concierge service to arrange transport for boarding students to attend their respective places of worship.

The daily schedule includes core academic classes, specialist subject periods, and time allocated for co-curricular clubs. Scheduled breaks occur throughout the day, during which students are provided with snacks and a lunch prepared by in-house chefs featuring local and international options. Following the afternoon activities, day students depart while boarders transition into their evening routines and dinner.

The school operates a dedicated transport service for students. The fleet is managed by an in-house Transport Supervisor who coordinates schedules, routes, and daily vehicle safety checks. Vehicles are operated by licensed drivers trained in road safety and child safeguarding protocols to safely transport students to and from designated locations.
