Why choosing a school in Ifako-Ijaiye takes a plan

Ifako-Ijaiye, and neighbouring areas such as Ogba, Agege, Ojokoro, Iju and Alagbado, has many private nursery, primary and secondary schools. Choice is good, but it also makes it easy to pick by price or proximity alone. A simple checklist protects you from that.

The 8-point checklist

  • Approval: confirm the school is registered and approved by the Lagos State government.
  • Curriculum: Nigerian only, British (IGCSE), or a blend? Decide which matches your plans for university and career.
  • Teachers: ask about qualifications, training and how long staff stay.
  • Safety: gated premises, supervised movement, clean toilets and a calm atmosphere.
  • Facilities: library, ICT room, science practicals and, for young children, proper Montessori materials.
  • Class size: smaller classes mean more attention per child.
  • Location and traffic: a 20-minute drive at 6:30am can become an hour. Test the route.
  • Fees: ask for the full breakdown, including uniforms, books and levies.
