Questions parents ask.

Can I visit without booking?

We prefer a booked tour so the Head or the admissions officer can give you proper time. If you are nearby, call and we will try to fit you in the same day.

Can I pay the fees in instalments?

Yes. You can pay in full at the start of term or in two instalments. Talk to the bursar before term starts if you need a different plan.

Do you accept children part way through the year?

Yes, when there is space in the class. We arrange a short assessment and tell you within three working days.

What if my child needs extra support?

Tell us at the tour. We will be honest about what we can support well, and what would be better done by a specialist.

Which curriculum do you follow?

The Nigerian national curriculum, with extra reading, ICT and a second language. Secondary pupils prepare for WAEC and NECO.

Is the registration fee refundable?

No. The registration and assessment fees are not refundable. Your offer letter explains how term fees are handled if a place is not taken up.
