United Kingdom (UK’s} 400-year-old iconic educational institution, Charterhouse, has concluded plans to build its first African school in Lagos.
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 founding head of Charterhouse Lagos, John Todd, who disclosed this during the school’s launch in Lagos, said, “With the opening of Charterhouse Lagos, we are bringing a school to Nigeria with a vision to open 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.”
Todd further emphasised the significance of the venture, saying, “We are extremely proud to be the first Charterhouse school on the African continent, and we will ensure the very best of Charterhouse’s traditions and values are infused within our walls while drawing inspiration from the forward-thinking outlook that continues to sustain the institution’s success today.”
The greenfield construction of the school is currently in progress on a sprawling 70-hectare site located at Ogombo in Lekki, Lagos.
