Children’s International School is hands-down one of the best secondary schools in Lekki.

The school has been around for a while, and it has a lot of things that help prove its excellence.

Unlike some other international schools, CIS isn’t just an international school by name, it is actually an international school with students from over 25 countries.

CIS is furthermore a partner of many local and international organizations, including Microsoft and Oracle.

And while you may be interested in just the secondary school of the school, the school also has a foundation stage school and a primary school.

For parents who wonder if Children’s International School (CIS) has a boarding house, the answer is YES !

And just like you’ll expect, the boarding house is a good one.

I should also state that the school runs the British curriculum, not the Nigerian curriculum.

For anyone interested in one of the best secondary schools for their kids, Chrisland High School, Lekki is also another school you can consider.

The school scores well in all important aspects to consider when choosing a school for a kid.

I know some of you may wonder, isn’t Chrisland High School in Ikeja? Well, you’re right, but the thing is, the school has many campuses, another of which is the one in Ikeja.

In fact,

The school has other campuses in Lagos and Abuja.

Dowen College

Location: No 18, Adebayo Doherty Road, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria

Phone no : +234-803-343-4087, +234-906-000-1032

Website:  dowencollege.org.ng

eMail:  info@dowencollege.org.ng

Although Dowen College may not be one of the fanciest secondary schools in Lagos, the school should never be underestimated, when it comes to all important things that matter.

The school has consistently ranked as one of the best in Lagos, and the WAEC results of its past students can prove that.

For instance, 99.1 percent of the grades of its previous SS3 students who sat for the 2020 WASSCE are “grades” between A1 and C6. In other words, this isn’t one of those schools which just take parents’ money without producing results.

In fact,

It is worthwhile stating that “Buraimoh Obaseyi Daniel”, the first Nigerian to graduate with a First Class in Computer Science, from San Francisco University (United States), is an alumnus of Dowen College.

For parents who wonder what curriculum the school runs, the school runs both the Nigerian curriculum and the British curriculum,

The school has produced very successful alumni and the WASSCE results of its past students can speak for the school.

It is also worthwhile stating that Greensprings School has received a countless number of awards, both local and international awards.

However,

Unlike some schools which are good at academics but quite poor at the social development of its students, Greensprings School is a great school when it comes to both academics and the social development of its students.

But while many people know the school, not many know how great it is.

And after conducting our research, it turns out the school is one of the best in the whole of Lagos. In other words, it isn’t just an expensive school, you’ll get the value of the money you’re paying.

Ever since the school was established, it has been churning out very successful students. In fact, many of its alumni are top leaders in the country and other important countries of the world.

The Best Secondary Schools in Ajah, Lagos State

Busy Minds College

Location :  48b, Udeco Medical Road, Chevy View Estate, Chevron Drive, Lekki-Ajah, Eti-Osa, Lagos, Nigeria

Phone no:  +234-703-124-1085, +234-814-251-5709

Website:  busymindscenter.com

When it comes to schools with the fanciest buildings, Busy Minds College won’t be able to compete with many schools in Ajah.

However,

When it comes to academic excellence, the school is far from being one of those you can underestimate.

Also,

Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean the school looks like a mushroom school, it’s just that many schools will perform better in terms of beauty.

The founder of the Busy Minds College, Mrs Ajayi Okeyinfu, is a Nigerian who graduated from the University of Benin.

After her graduation, she went for further studies at a top international school, before deciding to establish Busy Minds.

And with the WASSCE results of past students of the school, be assured that sending your kids to such a school won’t be a bad decision.

And as you may have assumed, Busy MInds College runs the Nigerian curriculum.

 

Jesilo High School

Location: Ikota Housing Estate, Okun-Ajah Road, Ikota Eti Osa, Lagos, Nigeria

Jesilo High School is a school similar to Busy MInd College.

The school is far from being one of the fanciest. However, when it comes to academic excellence, the school competes with many of the best schools in Lagos.

And while the school may have no website, visiting the school by yourself will leave you convinced.

As of the time of writing this content, the school has no boarding house, so only parents interested in day schools are those who can consider it.

As regards what type of curriculum Jesilo High School runs, the school runs only the Nigerian curriculum.

Phone no:  +234-814-681-7812, +234-816-808-9821

Website:  kayronschools.com

eMail — contact@kayronschools.com

Kayron International School is also one of the schools I’ll recommend to a parent looking for a good secondary school in Ajah.

The school has an excellent learning environment, and I believe any reasonable person will be quite impressed.

We don’t know of so many important people who have graduated from the school, but with the results we saw, there’s no doubt that the school will have some very successful alumni.

It’s also important to state that Kayron International School has a primary school. So if you find the secondary school of the school impressive, you may also appreciate the primary.

Furthermore,

Parents who are interested in boarding schools should have no problem with this, as Kayron has an excellent boarding house.

Also,

Just like most of the top schools in Lagos, Kayron runs both the Nigerian curriculum and the British curriculum.

Pedrisi School

Location: Pedrisi Road, Ogoyo, Off Mobil Road, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lekki Phase II, Lagos, Nigeria

Phone no:  +234-802-440-6560, +234-813-865-8422

Website:  pedrisischools.com

eMail:  info@pedrisischools.com

Pedrisi School is a relatively young school, compared to the other schools in this content.

However,

Even though the school may not be as old as some of those in this content, the school nicely competes with them.

Pedrisi School has a conducive learning environment, although it’s not as beautiful as some of the other schools in this content.

Also,

The population of the school is relatively low, but I think this is a good thing; schools with low population tend to pay more attention to each student, and such a thing really helps in the development of a student.

As regards what type of curriculum the school runs, the school runs both the Nigerian curriculum and the British curriculum.

And senior examinations offered by the school are namely —

(i) WAEC;

(ii) NECO;

(iii) IGCSE.

 

Final words

While every parent has the right to choose what school they deem best for their kids, I’ll strongly suggest that you pick from the schools mentioned in this article.

However,

If for some reason or the other you don’t want to choose from any of the schools in this content, be sure to do some thorough researches, so that you don’t end up sending your kids to one of the many big-for-nothing schools we have across Lekki and Ajah.
