Don't mind then. Whites using their color to deceive them. Slaves to whites.

Poverty of the mind (and not of money) is a bad disease that should be cured.

Exactly my thoughts. It's outrageous. We always sell ourselves short in this part of the world

There is mobility of labor. As long as they obtain expatriate quota for each staff, then they are not breaking labor laws.

Still expensive. The whites over there, do they pay this much? You have family and friends outside Nigeria,ask them and come back with an answer.

What do you mean by whites abroad?

Regardless of the country, rich people don't go to the same school as the average person.

In America, private schools are expensive. Check out the high schools that Mark Zuckerberg and Evan Spiegel attended.

It is really insanely expensive. What is the special impact the schools make on the kids that our circular schools dont??

I can enrol my ward for 300-400k per annum in a good circular school and use the remaining 10million to produce further wealth. Personal though

It's not just the quality of the education.

They also pay for the exclusivity and with that exclusivity comes the ability to get connections. Harvard University is more expensive than Howard University and it is not just the quality that is the difference.

Those people just have a very poor mindset, poor man mentality 11M naira is like #1000 or even #100 to some people. It removes little or nothing from them. Sending your child here will almost guarantee him/her a successful life or career coz only the elite and extremely wealthy can afford to send their kids here. Your child will be well connected before he graduates. Even you as a parent will be well connected too. Building strong networks like this will help you later in life. That's a fact. Abi na for public school wey na agbero children full there you wan see better person wey go help your life?

Don't mind them. I just laugh at such comments. People who send their kids to these schools are not fools. Education goes far beyond writing waec/jamb. Education is also about exposure. I've come across students that attend schools like American International School, Lekki British School, Grange School, Greensprings and the likes and I can boldly tell you that some of the students in these schools are more intelligent and exposed than many university undergraduates.

They care less about WAEC or Jamb - 99% of them don't even plan to acquire university education in Nigeria.

Their parents are training them to take over(or even establish) multi-billion naira investments. They are not training them to be underdogs who will settle for an average lifestyle.

The most important of it all is even the network of friends these kids enjoy. AISL and Grange are a circle. It's a circle of the wealthy class who wants their children to sustain what they've built and achieve much more.

Davido's daughter does not attend this school and it is very unlikely that she will ever attend such school. I can confirm to you that his first daughter attends American International School, Lagos. If you follow his Instagram stories, you would have confirmed this.

They are expensive, I agree. No doubt about that. But the school advertised, is it for Nigerians? Just curious. shocked

Also einsteine, please Mark Zuckerberg has made an impact on the world. The Nigerians that have attended such schools, what is their impact? I'm not against anyone attending such schools.

I'm a poor man, so before you yab me, make I yab myself.

[/b]If there is one thing I've learned about these schools, it's that there are thousands of legitimately wealthy Nigerians. If you visit schools like AISL, Lekki British School, Grange School, BIS, Loyola Jesuit, Greensprings School and 'other highbrow' schools in Lagos and Abuja, you will realize there are several successful Nigerians(who have never been in government but are doing very well in their fields) that can afford this education for their children.

If you can afford it, then give it a shot. Your kids deserve the best...[b]

As someone that studied in one of the top 100 best university in the world, I can confirm this. Honestly, I don't think I learnt anything special, it's more on the prestige and powerful network that I still cultivate from unto this day.

Also, attending such schools gives a certain kind of confidence, the deep seated feeling that you're competent and won't be assumed not to be. And to have global friends, being invited to high end events and benefits from being the early bird to be notified of deals and opportunities. The benefit is huge.

Like the old saying, your network is your net worth. With such a diverse community spanning from top-notch individuals in entertainment and diplomacy, businessmen to lawyers, the money is a merger in the long run. Most likely, those kids ain't graduating to look for jobs, but to manage companies of their parents or build theirs, with the convenient of such powerful network.

I learnt this first from a Colleague when we were recruited as management trainees around 2006. The guy went and paid for an expensive accommodation in a high brow Ikoyi. It was a self-contained though.

After 9months, he joined a multinationals company. One of the top ogas stays in the same estate with him and they connected.

It was when he was about leaving us that he told me the reason behind his paying that huge sum for a self contained in Ikoyi, which we thought was stupid of him but he had his reason.

As someone mentioned here, your network determines your networth

They have over 760 students according to their website : www.aislagos.org

There are many private high(secondary) schools in the United States that are more expensive than this. (You can check Google). I think it's a matter of choice and affordability. There are families who don't want their kids to travel abroad in their formative years but they want them to get the "most international" education as possible in Nigeria. American International School, Lagos(and I think they have another branch in Abuja) is the only AUTHENTIC international school in Nigeria that is largely run by expatriates. More than 80% of their staff are from countries outside Nigeria and there are people who are willing to cough out anything for such world-class diversity.

Because their teachers are foreigners doesn't mean they're qualified. SCAM!
The school is nothing but scam. No single notable alumnus. In GSS Ilorin alone which is a public school,there are tons of notable alumni like Emir of Ilorin,Adisa,Idiagbon,many profs,big politicians,etc. Same with other schools. Bring these students to some public local schools and have the students compete in math with some local students and watch how they would disgrace these so called American International college students. All I see about this school is luxurious learning terrain and unique/international curriculum that even low class foreign schools use
