A World-Class British International School in Lagos
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Rugby School Nigeria, one of the leading British international schools in Lagos.
We are located in the landmark Eko Atlantic City development on Victoria Island, Lagos and opened our doors on September 15th, 2025. It was genuinely an unforgettable day as I have never seen such happy students, teachers and parents. As we round off our inaugural academic year (a year full of growth, discovery and development), I have come away even more confident in the quality education and the personalised care that our international staff provide for our cherished students.
Families from all over Lagos are benefitting from a truly outstanding choice of private international education in Nigeria. We have also welcomed Nigerian families returning from the diaspora, as well as admitting international students. Our school relishes its international identity and the strong sense of inclusion that naturally goes hand-in-hand with cultural diversity.
Our boarding facility is modern, fresh and a space designed to develop independence while supporting community building. We are excited to welcome our boarding students whether they are weekly or full boarders – in September 2026 and are looking forward to sharing this world class facility with Lagos and the international student community.
Rooted in the proud traditions of Rugby School UK, we have brought to West Africa the school’s distinctive philosophy of “The Whole Person, The Whole Point”. Using this proven approach, we are seeing students develop not only academically, but also personally – building confidence, leadership, resilience, and a strong sense of global identity.
Academic Excellence and UK-Style Education in Nigeria
Our openly stated intention is to be the leading British-curriculum school in West Africa, attracting families seeking the best international schools in Lagos. Our highly qualified teaching staff – trained in the UK and around the world – are in the process of delivering exceptional learning opportunities. Parents looking for a UK-style education in Nigeria can be confident that Rugby School Nigeria will provide it.
An Investment in the Future
As Benjamin Franklin wisely said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” An investment in Rugby School Nigeria is an investment in your child’s future. We will prepare our students not only for success at university, but also for leadership in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond. It is this seamlessness that makes an investment in Rugby School Nigeria such a productive one
I warmly invite you to explore what makes Rugby School Nigeria the best British international school in Lagos. I look forward to welcoming you in person very soon.
Warm regards
