About dis school — Christ the Cornerstone International School
Christ the Cornerstone International School Gbagada Phase 2 serves a specific catchment: the eastern Mainland professional families (Gbagada, Anthony Village, Maryland, Ojota, Ketu) who want a hybrid curriculum without the Third Mainland Bridge commute to Lekki. Founded 2001, the school runs a Nigerian curriculum with optional Cambridge IGCSE at senior secondary — the IGCSE option is meaningful because it opens the international-university pathway for pupils whose families cannot easily justify Island fees. Christian-affiliated (non-denominational). Day-only. WAEC pass rates are strong (85-92% credit-pass in core subjects), stronger than most Tier 3 Mainland peers. The school's size (~500-600 pupils) keeps class caps at 22-28 — smaller than Chrisland Idimu's 30+, larger than Foreshore's 18. What Cornerstone competes on is the specific geographic value proposition: the strongest hybrid-curriculum school in the eastern Mainland catchment at this fee tier.
Christ the Cornerstone was founded 2001 in Gbagada Phase 2 to serve the eastern Mainland catchment — Gbagada, Anthony Village, Maryland, Ojota, Ketu — with a hybrid curriculum option. The Gbagada Phase 2 estate is one of the better-planned Mainland residential developments and had grown into a substantial professional-family enclave by the early 2000s without a corresponding mid-market school. The school's hybrid Nigerian-Cambridge curriculum with optional IGCSE at senior secondary fills that gap. WAEC pass rates are consistently 85-92% credit-pass — stronger than most Tier 3 Mainland peers. The school's size (~500-600 pupils) keeps class caps at 22-28. Alumni move into Nigerian universities plus a growing UK and Canadian scholarship pipeline.
Rolling entrance assessment held quarterly (January, April, July, October). Assessment covers English, Mathematics, and Verbal Reasoning at grade-appropriate level plus a written summary paragraph for JS1 and above. Application fee ₦15,000, non-refundable.

Interview with the Principal for all shortlisted candidates plus a school-visit day.
