Charterhouse, one of the seven prestigious and renowned British independent educational institutions with a rich history spanning over four centuries, is proud to announce the opening of its first African school in Lagos, Nigeria’s bustling economic hub. 

The introduction of Charterhouse Lagos marks the convergence of British independent school heritage with cutting-edge educational practices, ushering in a new era of excellence in West African education.

The greenfield construction of the school is currently in progress on a sprawling 70-hectare site located at Ogombo in Lekki, Lagos. Charterhouse Lagos represents a remarkable educational undertaking in Lagos State, with the planned $150 million campus expected to be fully delivered in 2028. The school’s development will unfold gradually, with the first intake of primary school students in September 2024. On completion, the school will ultimately accommodate students from Years 1-13, ranging from 5 to 18 years old.

John Todd, the Founding Head of Charterhouse Lagos, expressed his excitement during the school’s launch, stating, “With the opening of Charterhouse Lagos, we are bringing a school to Nigeria with a vision to opening a new chapter in the educational story of West Africa. We are bringing world-class education to Nigerian and African parents inspired by Britain and delivered in Lagos. We welcome your children to unprecedented learning opportunities, supported by a world-class purpose-built campus and a first-class learning programme.”

Returning to Lagos carries personal significance for Mr. Todd, as he shared, “This is a unique opportunity that has facilitated a welcome return to Lagos – a place that has special significance at both a professional and personal level. I previously worked in the education sector here, and two of my children were born in Lagos, so it is wonderful to commit the skills and experience I have gained as a leader and a parent to our new school.”

The iconic Charterhouse Lagos campus will nestle on a total land area of 700,000 square metres. The facilities set for completion in July 2024 for the commencement of Phase 1 in September 2024 will include the following: 

  • Science-Tech- Engineering-Arts-Mathematics (STEAM) labs
  • Music, Art, and Drama studios
  • An Aquatics Centre (a 25m swimming pool and a training pool
  • Indoor and outdoor Football pitches and Basketball courts
  • Gymnasium
  • A Welcome Centre
  • Dining Hall
  • A 257-seat Lecture Theatre 
  • A Medical Centre
  • An Operations Centre 
  • A Central Administration Building
  • Teachers’ Apartments

Phase 2 and 3 of the school’s expansion plans for Middle and Senior school, respectively, will have Boys’ and Girls’ boarding houses, a 400m athletics track, a standard football pitch, a dance studio, an indoor NBA standard basketball arena, an indoor sports centre, an 800-seat performing arts theatre, a 3-storey library, and covered sports areas.

Charterhouse Lagos extends an open invitation to families to explore the exceptional educational opportunities it offers. Mr. Todd concludes, “Get in touch with us today and learn more about how your child can be part of this exciting story.”

Speaking at the event, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu who was represented by the Secretary ot the State Government, Ms Bimbola Salu-Hudenyin, said that “the establishment of Charterhouse Lagos signifies a watershed moment in the collective effort of the private and public sector of our economy in providing quality education underscoring the importance of broadening the horizon of our children and exposing them to new curricula that will further instill globally acceptable skills in them and position them to compete favorably on the world stage.

“The collaboration between Charterhouse and the Government in bringing this institution to Lagos serves as a prime example of the power of public-private partnerships. It is through these partnerships that we can bridge the gaps and enhance the quality of education in our state. We are indeed very proud that Charterhouse groundbreaking in Africa is Lagos, this to us is an acknowledgement by the international community of our strident efforts in the area of education.”

In his remarks at the occasion, the British Deputy High Commissioner, Johnny Baxter said: “Charterhouse Lagos is the First British Independent school in West Africa. Their goal is to be global in their outlook and local in their focus, by blending the best of contemporary educational thinking with the finest traditions in British independent schooling. Charterhouse Lagos is bringing not just the brand but the same standard of education you will get from a British school in the UK immersed in the Nigerian culture thereby giving their students the best of British education in a multicultural environment.”

The school’s mission is to inspire and empower young people to be leaders in a digital generation, innovators committed to community involvement, and achieve a balance of academic excellence and personal well-being.
