Marymount School

Marymount School operates on the belief that children develop sequentially and require an atmosphere of love, patience, and cooperation to thrive. The school aims to develop the whole child by fostering core values of compassion, honesty, and respect, while promoting physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual growth. It emphasizes an inclusive, bias-free environment where children feel confident, valued, and inspired to pursue excellence.

The academic offering includes a Montessori-based preschool and nursery, followed by a primary school programme. The curriculum is a blend of British and Nigerian standards, with an additional Indian curriculum section established to meet the needs of the expatriate community. The programme focuses on literacy, numeracy, communication, and problem-solving, utilizing a play-based approach in the early years and transitioning to rigorous, interdisciplinary academic study in the primary years.

The school maintains small class sizes to ensure that teachers can understand individual learning styles and provide personalized attention to every pupil. This approach allows educators to adapt the curriculum to meet the specific needs of each child, ensuring that no learner is overlooked within the supportive environment. Additionally, the school offers an enriched after-school care program for parents requiring late-stay options.

The school accepts children of all nationalities and religious denominations starting from eighteen months of age. The admission process involves submitting an application form and required documentation—including birth certificates, previous school reports, and medical/immunization records—followed by an entrance assessment or interview. Successful applicants are invited to complete registration and pay the required fees to secure their place.

The campus is located in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, and features modern learning facilities designed to provide safe and stimulating spaces for students. These facilities include contemporary tools to enhance teaching, as well as dedicated areas for outdoor play to support physical development and active learning. The school environment is structured to foster curiosity and engagement through both classroom and practical, real-world learning spaces.
