About this school — Greensprings School
Greensprings' choice to commit fully to the IB Continuum has shaped its identity for two decades. Where other schools dabble — offering IB alongside A-Levels as a hedge — Greensprings goes all-in. Its IB Diploma cohort is one of the largest in West Africa, and its IB scores consistently average above the world median. The trade-off: families seeking traditional UK A-Levels with British exam boards usually look elsewhere. For those committed to IB, Greensprings remains the deepest IB school in Nigeria.

Admission process
Greensprings admits via continuous rolling assessment. The Anthony Village campus (Nursery–Year 6) requires a play-based assessment for Reception and a written entry test from Year 1 upwards. The Lekki senior campus (Year 7–Year 13) requires a multi-paper entrance examination (English, Mathematics, Science, reasoning) plus an interview. Sixth Form admission to the IB Diploma requires predicted IGCSE/JS3 grades of B or better in six subjects. Application fee is ₦50,000 for primary, ₦75,000 for secondary. Sibling priority applies.

Campus & facilities
The Anthony Village campus (10 acres) houses the nursery and primary school in a low-rise building cluster with multiple playgrounds, a 200-seat hall, two swimming pools (one infant), and a primary library. The Lekki senior campus (8 acres) opened in 2010 and includes a four-storey academic block, six science labs, a 400-seat performing-arts theatre, dedicated IB Diploma study halls, three boarding houses, a sports centre with a 25m pool and indoor courts, and a dedicated college counselling suite.
It is a true Continuum — children entering at Reception follow PYP, transition to MYP at Year 7, and finish with the IB Diploma at Year 13. Pupils who join later (e.g. at Year 10) are integrated into the relevant programme via a bridging assessment. The school holds full IB World School authorisation for all three programmes.
Greensprings runs three larger boarding houses (~70 pupils each) versus Charterhouse's smaller, traditional house model. Greensprings also keeps total boarding capacity at scale, which spreads fixed costs. The trade-off is a more dormitory-style experience versus Charterhouse's individual study-bedroom model.
The school's rolling 3-year average is around 33–35 (out of 45), which is comfortably above the world average of 30 and competitive with international IB schools. The top decile of Greensprings IB students typically score 38+, which puts them in range for Oxbridge, top US universities and selective Canadian programmes.
Anthony Village is the primary campus (Nursery–Year 6) and convenient for Mainland families. Lekki is the senior campus (Year 7–Year 13) and serves both Island families and Mainland boarders. The two campuses use the same curriculum and assessment standards, so cross-campus progression is automatic.
No — Greensprings is an IB-only school at all stages. Pupils sit MYP eAssessments at Year 11 instead of IGCSE or WAEC, then the IB Diploma at Year 13. Families wanting WAEC certification typically dual-enrol or transfer for SSS3.
