Dear Nairalanders...hoping you can bail me out. Im trying to inquire about secondary schools in Nigeria with good academic standards, decent boarding facilities and moderate school fees. I would appreciate if you can give a genuine range of the fees charged. Hoping you guys can bail me out especially those of you whose kids/ wards recently got admitted to schools this september.

op, your message is incomplete without identifying your location and the price you feel you can afford, private or government school.

Education is not cheap. Good and cheap do not go together when education is involved.

There is a difference between cheap and affordable
Some expansive schools are crap.
I would rather get my kids to a school that builds conscience and character in them along with excellent academic experience than some expensive pampering centre that produces insolent children that are brilliantly good at cramming

Affordability is relative and I agree with your second paragraph.

Although I'm not too sure about the present, in my time, Unity Schools could give you those.

I did go to a unity school during my time but you will agree with that the system is collapsing by the day. They go on strike almost as frequent as universities. Well i used the phrase moderate because i find it almost ridiculous to pay 2m yearly for secondary education IMO. Perhaps 250k -300k per term would be comfortable threshold . What happens when the child gets to University. Moreover most of these high profile schools dont turn out so fantastic products most times. As a matter of fact, they hardly attend external competitions or have fantastic WAEC/ SSCE ratings.

Make enquiries on Mayflower Schools,ikene,Ogun State.Heard the school still maintains its standard.

Thanks. ...any ideas on the fees? I also hear faith academy otta is good. pls any more inputs. sale of forms begin january. I need to be well informed so I can make the best choices available. counting on you guys

thats exactly what im trying to avoid. I really dont want to be swayed with all those big name. for me discipline, spirituality and academic excellence is key. no fake lifestyle...
