Top Most Expensive Secondary Schools In Nigeria 

By Balogun Kamilu Lekan

Due to the drop in educational standards at government-sponsored schools, private schools have sprung up to fill the gaps, resulting in a severe disparity in the school system.

While Nigeria battles the problem of out-of-school children, which UNESCO estimates to be 20 million, there are school owners who profit from the system’s failure.

Nigeria is estimated to have approximately 9,500 public secondary schools and 17,000 private secondary schools.

Below is a list of the most expensive schools in Nigeria and their fee

1. American International School, Lagos

The school was founded in 1964 for preschoolers, and students from kindergarten through grade 12 graduate with a United States diploma and the option of earning an International Baccalaureate diploma. 

Students come from India, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Israel, and Nigeria.

Middle school tuition is approximately $28,049, and $32,165 for High School.

2. British International School 

The coeducational international school offers students ages 11 to 18 the British curriculum. It was established in 2001 to serve the local Nigerian population and foreigners in the nation. 

For IGCSE and Advanced Level classes at Cambridge International School, students at the school are prepared. For boarding, it costs about N8.1 million and N6.1 million for day students, respectively.

3. Lekki British International School

The school was opened in Lekki Phase 1 in September 2000. It was situated on 25 acres and has a campus that includes a preschool, junior high, high school, and boarding school.

For day students at Lekki British International School, the annual tuition is approximately N4.6 million, and for boarders, it is N6.8 million.

4. Grange School

To provide education on par with that in the UK, some British expatriates founded schools in 1958. 

It is an independent, non-profit day school that uses the English National Curriculum. In its primary and secondary divisions, each house has about 326 students, and the school, located in Ikeja, Lagos, has about 430 boys and girls.

The school’s tuition is N6.5 million for boarders and N4.5 million for day students.

5. Day Waterman College

The school was established in 2008 and is located in Asu Village in Abeokuta, Ogun State. 

It has about 6,000 students and is sitting on a 35 hectares property. The school’s tuition is N5.3 million per session, and is exclusively a boarding school.
