About Ocean Crest.
A premium British international school in Lagos, developing curious, confident and compassionate young people from Early Years to Secondary.
Welcome to Ocean Crest
A global education, rooted in Lagos.
Ocean Crest School delivers a rigorous UK-based educational programme within the rich context of Nigeria. Our curriculum integrates British and Nigerian learning expectations into one thoughtful journey from Early Years Foundation Stage through Secondary School.
We see parents as essential partners and every learner as an individual with distinct strengths. Academic excellence, character, creativity and wellbeing shape the way our teachers support every child.
“Every child discovers the courage to learn, the
confidence to lead and the compassion to serve.”
From a child’s first day at 1.8 years
to their final year at 16, they
always belong here.
Our story
Built with purpose. Always moving forward.
For 15 years, Ocean Crest has grown as a neighbourhood school
with a global outlook. What began with a clear belief in
thoughtful, child-centred education has developed into a
complete learning pathway serving children aged 1.8 to 16.
As Lagos and the world continue to change, we keep
strengthening our curriculum, technology, specialist teaching and pastoral care—without losing the warmth and personal attention that define our community.
