Bridge House College is an A-Level specialist sixth-form college in Ikoyi, founded in 2008. Unlike most Lagos schools, Bridge House operates only Year 12 and Year 13 — students enrol after completing their senior secondary education elsewhere (typically IGCSE or WAEC) and complete A-Levels over two intensive years. The college is small (~150 students) and academically selective, with a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:8. Fees are ₦4.5M to ₦6.5M annually.

About this school — Bridge House College
Bridge House's niche — A-Level only, sixth-form only, academically selective — fills a specific gap in the Lagos market: students whose senior secondary school does not offer A-Levels or whose families want a more focused two-year university-preparation environment. The model works because A-Levels are intensive: removing the distraction of junior students, sports leagues, and primary-school administrators concentrates resources on the only thing that matters at sixth form — exam performance and university applications.
Strengths & trade-offs
✓ Strengths
✓Sixth Form-only specialisation concentrates all resources on A-Level prep
✓1:8 teacher-to-student ratio
✓Small cohort of ~150 pupils
✓Full UCAS office with 2 dedicated advisors
✓Recent cohorts placed 3 pupils into Oxbridge
✓No junior distractions — no primary or JS students on campus
✓12 subject-specialist classrooms each dedicated to one A-Level subject
Bridge House admits via a competitive entrance examination held twice annually (March and August). The exam covers English, Mathematics, and the candidate's intended A-Level subjects. Predicted IGCSE/WAEC grades of B or better in six subjects are required to apply. Shortlisted candidates attend an interview with the Principal and the relevant subject heads. Application fee is ₦50,000 non-refundable. Bridge House admits ~80 new students per year against an applicant pool of 250+.

Campus & facilities
The Ikoyi campus is a converted three-storey colonial-era building extensively renovated in 2018. It includes 12 subject-specialist classrooms (each dedicated to one A-Level subject), three science labs, a senior library with 60+ study booths, a music suite, an exam hall, and a dedicated UCAS office. There are no sports facilities on-site — Bridge House does not operate competitive sports leagues. There is no canteen; students eat in a small common-room servery or off-site.
It's a deliberate model. By specialising in A-Levels only, Bridge House concentrates faculty time, classroom space, and pastoral attention on the two years that matter most for university applications. Schools running Reception through Year 13 inevitably split resources across stages — Bridge House does not.
No — Bridge House does not offer IGCSE. You must complete your senior secondary qualification (IGCSE, WAEC, or equivalent) elsewhere before applying for Year 12 entry.
The core: Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Accounting, English Literature, History, Geography, French. Subjects offered depend on annual student demand — Further Maths runs every year, while subjects like Sociology or Politics run only if 8+ students opt in.
Predominantly UK (Russell Group bias — Manchester, Warwick, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham), with growing Canadian (Toronto, McGill, UBC) and a small US/IB-route stream. The 2024 cohort placed 3 students into Oxbridge and 12 into LSE/Imperial/UCL.
No — Bridge House is a day-only college. Students are expected to live with their families or in approved off-campus accommodation arranged independently. Most students live in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, or Lekki.
