charges N42 Million Naira per term
Charterhouse, a forthcoming school in Lagos, is poised to open its doors this September, eliciting mixed reactions from Nigerians, particularly due to its hefty financial requirements. The institution, aimed at children aged five to eight, carries a significant application fee of ₦2 million, sparking discussions on social media platforms like X.
This venture, modeled after the prestigious Charterhouse School in the UK, promises a blend of academic excellence and social development. Emblazoned with slogans like “Privilege, Prestige, Presence,” and “Inspired by Britain, delivered in Lagos,” it aims to offer an unparalleled educational advantage.
Charterhouse Lagos boasts of a progressive educational approach, emphasizing evidence-based methods and skilled teaching staff to foster a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. According to John Todd, the school’s head, the institution aspires to be transformative in the lives of its students.
However, the exorbitant fees have become a focal point of criticism. Apart from the ₦2 million application fee, annual tuition fees are reported to range from ₦31.5 million to ₦42 million, as per information circulating on X. This has sparked debate about the accessibility of quality education and the widening gap between the privileged and the rest of society.
