Admissions

A warm welcome, a clear path

Most families go from first visit to offer in under three weeks. Here is every step, the dates that matter and a quick way to see which year group your child joins.

The journey

From first visit to first day

You can start online tonight, and we will guide you from there.

01

Visit the campus

Take the online tour, then book an in-person tour on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday morning. Bring your child if you like.

04

Offer and acceptance

An offer letter within five school days. Accept with a N250,000 deposit, credited to the first term's fees.

05

Welcome

Uniform fitting, a stay-and-play or taster day, and a buddy for the first weeks.
