Children's International School (CIS) Lagos

The school aims to nurture, empower, and transform its students. It seeks to provide an internationally recognised education that also ensures students maintain an appreciation and understanding of the culture, history, and values of the society in which they live.

The school follows a 'British curriculum plus' model, delivering the English National Curriculum supplemented by local context. The Junior School covers Nursery to Year 6, the Senior School provides education from Year 7 through to IGCSE examinations in Year 11, and the Sixth Form College offers A Level courses to prepare students for university.

The school is academically selective and often oversubscribed, so early applications are strongly recommended. The admissions process involves a formal application, a meeting with senior staff, and an entrance examination for most year groups. Specific testing for Year 7 occurs in November and January, while scholarship papers for the Sixth Form are held in March.

The school maintains a calendar of events and term dates, which is accessible through the school's website. Prospective families are encouraged to contact the admissions team to arrange a school tour.

Located on a modern, secure campus in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, the school features purpose-built classrooms designed to support its three distinct sections. The campus provides both day and boarding facilities for students.

A vibrant extracurricular programme is offered at the end of each school day to foster soft skills such as leadership, resilience, teamwork, and self-confidence. Activities include a range of sports, music, drama, academic extension, and the arts.
