How to apply, waitlist information, and financial support

Admissions Process

Applications for a place are accepted throughout the year. Each offer of a place is carefully considered and requires the submission of a formal application, a meeting with senior staff and, for all but our 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 many year groups are oversubscribed. Early applications are strongly recommended. Plot 8 Amore Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
