What Grange School does

Grange School (legal entity: Grange Education Limited) is a private day and boarding school in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, Nigeria, established in 1958. The school delivers the English National Curriculum from Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery, age 2 years 6 months) through Key Stage 4, culminating in Cambridge IGCSE examinations at Years 10-11. It operates a single campus in the Ikeja GRA with boarding facilities accommodating up to 96 students aged 11-16 across eight units, and serves the broader Lagos metropolitan area via a school bus service covering both island and mainland routes. The institution is privately held, governed by a Board of Directors and Governing Council, and operates as a single legal entity with no parent company or subsidiaries.

Academic delivery is segmented across EYFS (Nursery/Reception), Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2), Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6), Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9, culminating in Cambridge Checkpoint), and Key Stage 4/IGCSE (Years 10-11, requiring a minimum of eight IGCSE subjects). The programme is supported by interactive whiteboards across all classrooms, digital library platforms (Reading Cloud, OverDrive/Sora, Eclipse), online learning tools (Doodle, Active Learn), and a Whisper App for student wellbeing reporting. The school uses Educare and Ed-Admin platforms for school management and online admissions. Co-curricular offerings include sports, music (ABRSM and MUSON examinations), drama, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award at Bronze and Silver levels.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition fees from day and boarding students, supplemented by a one-time NGN 20,000 non-refundable application fee; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. The school holds COBIS Peer Accreditation (valid through June 2028) and AGBIS accreditation, and reports that 97.10% of students achieved grade A*-C at IGCSE in 2023, with 72% of graduates proceeding to UK A-level institutions, 11% to US schools, and 9% to Canadian destinations. With 119 employees, the school is staffed to deliver a full K-12 British curriculum experience to a small but premium-tier Lagos family base.
