Caleb International College is a secondary school in Lagos, based in Magodo and part of the Caleb group of schools, which has run schools in the city for more than three decades. It offers a British and Nigerian curriculum with day and boarding places, preparing pupils for the national WAEC alongside Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, within a Christian ethos. For families the practical questions are how the two curricula run together, where the fees land and whether the Magodo campus suits a commute, and that is what this profile covers.

Curriculum and academics
Caleb runs a British and Nigerian curriculum in parallel, preparing pupils for the national WAEC while also offering the British curriculum route to Cambridge IGCSE and A Level. That gives families a recognised national qualification alongside international ones, and the school describes a holistic approach that aims to equip pupils for study and work at home or abroad.
For families the appeal is a dual pathway within an established group and a Christian ethos that shapes the wider school life. Because the balance of the two systems and the subjects on offer vary by year group, ask the school how the timetables fit together, which subjects are available at IGCSE and A Level and how it supports the transition from IGCSE into the sixth form for pupils aiming at universities abroad.
The honest way to judge fit is to be clear about where your child is heading next. If you want a Magodo based school that keeps both Nigerian and British doors open within a values driven setting, Caleb is worth shortlisting. Confirm the A Level provision and subject options directly, since these matter most for older pupils, and compare it with the other names on our Lagos hub.

Caleb International College fees
Caleb sits in the mid to upper band for the city, an established group school where boarding places are priced above day places. Our Lagos international school fees guide explains how the local market is tiered and where dual curriculum secondary schools tend to fall within it. Fees rise by year group and by day or boarding status, so the total depends on the stage and option, and the school's published schedule is the only reliable figure to plan against.
Alongside tuition, budget for a one off registration and acceptance fee, a deposit and optional costs such as boarding, meals, transport, uniform and external examination entry. Ask whether sibling arrangements apply across the Caleb group. Fees tend to rise year on year, so plan for increases across a multi year stay rather than a flat rate.
To see where that leaves you against the rest of the city, our fees guide groups Lagos schools into broad tiers so you can compare Caleb with the other names in our best international schools in Lagos guide and across the wider fees section. Ask the school directly about the current term by term schedule.
Admissions
Entry is mainly into the start of the secondary years, with an entrance assessment and a review of recent school reports, though places can open in other year groups as families come and go. The school takes both day and boarding pupils, so families choose the option that suits their location and their child's stage.
Places in popular year groups can be limited, so confirm your family's eligibility and the current requirements directly with the school early. Gather recent school reports and any standardised assessment results, and for older entrants a sense of likely IGCSE, A Level or WAEC subjects, since these help the school place a child correctly.
Register your interest as soon as your plans are confirmed and ask about entrance assessment dates and start dates for the coming intake. If you are considering boarding, ask about the boarding houses, pastoral care and the weekly routine so you can judge whether it suits your child.
Location and who goes there
Caleb International College is in Magodo on the Lagos mainland, convenient for families living in Magodo, Ikeja, Ojodu and the surrounding Government Reserved Areas, while the wider Caleb group also runs a campus in the Lekki and Ajah area on the island side. As a school with boarding, its reach extends beyond the immediate district for families further afield. Confirm which campus you are considering and its exact address with the school.
The intake is largely Lagos resident families who want a dual curriculum school within a Christian group, including internationally mobile households settled on the mainland. Relocating families considering Caleb should think about where they intend to live, since a Magodo address works well for the mainland and the Lekki campus for the island side.
