It opened in 2009 as the British curriculum arm of the established Caleb group of schools, which has run education in Lagos for decades. The school is one of the newer British curriculum options among the Lagos international schools, appealing to families settling in the Lekki and Ajah districts who want a Cambridge route with a Nigerian credential alongside it.

Curriculum and academics
Caleb British International School teaches a dual pathway built around the British curriculum and the Nigerian national syllabus. Pupils progress through primary into a secondary phase that prepares them for Cambridge IGCSE, then AS and A Levels in the sixth form, while also sitting the West African Examinations Council certificate. The combination lets leavers apply to Nigerian universities on the WAEC and to British and international universities on IGCSE and A Level results.
The school describes a values led ethos and pairs the academic timetable with sport, clubs and a boarding programme for residential pupils. Families weighing the A Level route against the International Baccalaureate can compare the city Diploma providers through our Lagos IB schools hub.

Caleb British International School fees
Caleb British International School sits in the mid part of the Lagos market. Day fees fall within the range mapped in our Lagos school fees guide, and boarding pupils pay an accommodation charge on top of tuition. Fees are set in naira and reviewed each academic year, so we do not republish a precise figure here. Confirm the current termly schedule with the school before you budget.
Plan for the costs that sit above headline tuition. Expect a registration or application charge, a deposit on acceptance, boarding fees for residential pupils, a transport fee for day pupils who use the school buses, and examination entry fees in the IGCSE and A Level years. These extras add a meaningful amount to the total cost of attendance.
