Boarding

Boarding offers a carefully structured environment, making Wellington one of the few premium boarding schools in Lagos structured around care and independence. Within a close-knit community, strong relationships and clear routines create a sense of belonging and students thrive both academically and personally.

Boarding

By both drawing on the expertise of our Wellington College Education network and embracing and respecting our local context, we will provide a pastoral provision which is robust, contextually relevant and centred around community.

The culture we foster will ensure all students feel they belong, that they can be ambitious and brave in their aspirations, and be confident in the knowledge that we will be with them along every step of the way.
