Opened in September 2024, Charterhouse Lagos sets a new standard in education provision in Nigeria and West Africa. With world-class facilities and a focus on excellence, they will develop in their students a passion for learning, for excellence and for leadership.
Charterhouse Lagos offers an international education for students aged 5 to 18 (Years 1 to 13) using the British curriculum which will lead to the IGCSE and A-level qualifications. These will allow their students to aspire to the very best universities worldwide. Phase 1 of the building programme opened in September 2024 and phase 2, with the secondary school facilities opened in September 2025. Phase 3 will follow over the next few years. Years 1 to 9 are already established in the primary school and they are adding Years 10 to 12 in secondary school in September 2025.
The school community is self-contained and lies in Ajah on the Lekki Peninsula, south of mainland Lagos. The secure compound offers the best educational facilities in Nigeria. 24-hour security ensures that their students and staff can take advantage of the amazing facilities. They expect the majority of their secondary school students will board at the school.
Facilities include fully connected classrooms, science and STEM labs, music, art, drama and library spaces, an 800-seat professional standard theatre, a 25-metre competition pool, along with a learn-to-swim pool, an NBA standard indoor basketball stadium, outdoor and indoor football pitches, and a beautifully landscaped campus that offers relaxation as well as a connection to nature.
The Head of Operations role will ensure that all non-academic functions of Charterhouse Lagos run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Working closely with the Director, the post holder leads and coordinates the daily operational delivery of services that support learning, teaching, boarding, and wellbeing. This is a practical, hands-on role requiring a balance of leadership, coordination, and compliance management across multiple service departments.
