In a recent interview with Tribune, Charterhouse Lagos explained why it charges N42 million per annum
per child.
Following criticism and condemnation from members of the
public over the report of N42 million as school fees per annum for each primary
school student and N2 million as a non-refundable registration fee at the
Charterhouse, a private-owned British school which is newly opened in Lagos and
its first in Africa, the development, Charterhouse’s director of
communications, admissions, and marketing, Damilola Olatunbosun, defended the
whopping amount the school charges.
He said, “Charterhouse is not just like every other school
anywhere globally but a prestigious and value-driven world-class educational
institution that parents, who love quality and second to none education will
always want their children to be.”
He noted that since the school was officially launched last
September, many parents have shown interest in enrolling their children.
According to him, most parents who come to us are not
surprised about our fees as it is within what they can afford.
“Some parents are here in Nigeria and some based abroad. And
they know the quality of education we will give to their children. It is about value and not whether the fees is
high or not.
“They know it will cost them more if they are to send their
children abroad and get the same quality and value we will give them here in
Nigeria. The foreign exchange and the associated costs as well as nearness.
“Even though, we are yet to commence academic activities and
we have not also done with our construction works, no school in Nigeria has the
facilities we have already put in place.
“And it is not all about physical structures in Charterhouse, but also about quality, both academic and extra-curriculum, and value for our learners.
“Schooling in Charterhouse Lagos will be the same as in
Charterhouse UK or any other high-profile UK-based school. The only difference
is that the Chaterhouse here will be immersed in the Nigerian culture thereby
giving our students the best of British education in a multicultural
environment.
“So, we are not just any other school, and many prominent
Nigerians, who are either products of Charterhouse or have any of their
children or relations attended the school in the UK are very glad that
Charterhouse is now here in Lagos Nigeria.
“Even here in Lagos, there are some schools, for example,
that charge in millions of Naira per annum while some in hundreds of thousands
and yet some others charge something lesser.
“So, it is now left for parents to decide which one to enrol
their children based on the value they want and their purse.
“We are building on 70 hectares of land in Lekki and it will
cost us over $150 million at completion and that is why we are very sure that
by the time we are done, people will appreciate us better.”
Olatunbosun explained further that even though the original
plan of the school is to open its primary school section doors for its first
batch of pupils this September, the second batch which is for junior secondary
school students in 2026 and the third batch, which are senior school students
two years after, the school has now decided to bring backwards the second batch
to 2025 based on the parents’ demand.
“So, those who want quality and familiar with Charterhouse
know why their children must come to our school.
