Greensprings School

For families comparing international schools in Lagos that can carry a child all the way to a globally recognised diploma, Greensprings comes up early. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about the school: its curricula, its campuses, fee band and admissions rhythm. We are independent and no school pays to be listed, so this is a reference for relocating parents rather than promotion.

Greensprings is unusual in Lagos for running several campuses under one name. The Anthony campus in Anthony Village was the original site, with later campuses in Ikoyi and along the fast growing Lekki corridor on the Island side. Lekki is the campus most associated with boarding and the IB Diploma. That multi campus structure matters when you compare options, because the stage on offer and the day or boarding choice can differ by site. For wider market context, see our guide to international school fees in Lagos.

Curriculum and academics

Greensprings is an authorised IB World School, offering the IB Diploma Programme in the sixth form with examinations in May. The journey to that point runs through a Montessori preschool, the International Primary Curriculum in the primary years and Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE in the secondary years, alongside the Nigerian national curriculum required for local recognition. The IB Diploma at sixth form is the headline academic offer, and the school publicises a strong record of university scholarship offers for its diploma leavers.

Greensprings School fees

Greensprings School fees sit in the mid to premium band for Lagos schools, with boarding charged in addition to tuition where it is offered. Fees are billed per term across the three term Nigerian academic year and vary by campus and stage, with the IB Diploma years typically the most expensive. Because schools revise fees annually, we do not publish a fixed figure here; confirm the current schedule with the relevant campus.

Admissions

The main intake is in September, in line with the Nigerian and British academic year. Greensprings sets entrance assessments suited to the year group applied for, with strong demand at the early stages, at the secondary transition and into the sixth form, where results shape IB Diploma eligibility. Because each campus admits separately, families should apply to the site that fits their location and the stage they need. Sought after year groups fill ahead of the new session, so register early and ask about occasional places if relocating mid year.

Location and who goes there

Greensprings spreads across three parts of Lagos. The Anthony campus sits on the mainland near Anthony Village, convenient for families around Ikeja, Maryland and the central mainland. The Ikoyi and Lekki campuses serve the Island side, with Lekki sitting on the fast growing residential corridor that draws many relocating and expatriate families, and it is the site associated with boarding and the IB Diploma. Choosing between the campuses usually comes down to where you live and the stage your child needs, because the bridge crossings between mainland and Island can add a great deal to a daily commute.

The community reflects that geography. The mainland campus skews towards Nigerian families, while the Island campuses attract a more mixed intake including expatriate and returning diaspora households, and the boarding provision pulls students from further afield. Families who value an IB pathway and a recognisable international environment tend to gravitate to the Lekki campus.
