Victoria Children's School opened in 1971 with a simple conviction: that every child in Lagos deserves an education rooted in excellence, integrity and faith. In 2001, at the request of our own parents, Victoria High School was founded to carry that same conviction through to SS3. Ours is a story of resilience, quiet ambition and steady improvement.
Today, generations of Victoria alumni serve as leaders in medicine, engineering, the arts, business and government, in Nigeria and across the world. When you enrol your child with us, you join a tradition of excellence that has stood the test of time: fifty-five years at Victoria Children's School and twenty-five at Victoria High School.
A high-quality, all-round education that prepares every child to compete anywhere in the world.
A safe, inspiring, technology-driven environment that unlocks every child's potential.

Victoria shaped my daughter into a confident young woman. The teachers know her, encourage her, and hold her to a standard we deeply respect.
I graduated from Victoria in 2008. The discipline and academic foundation I received still guide me today as a physician in the UK.
From the moment we toured the campus, we knew. It is rare to find a school this warm, this safe, and this serious about learning.
Victoria Children’s School opened in 1971 with a handful of pupils and a conviction I believe was given to me by divine inspiration, and in 2001 Victoria High School grew from that same conviction. Fifty-five years on for the one, and twenty-five for the other, it has not changed: give a child sound character, a rigorous education and a reason to believe in themselves, and they will hold their own anywhere in the world.
Success comes to those who work hard, and stays with those who do not rest on the laurels of the past. That is why our laboratories, our ICT room and our music room have been rebuilt and re-equipped, why our teachers keep learning, and why we continue to make it a priority to help serious children from striving homes stay in school.
Read her full messageEverything else a school can buy, from a laboratory to a coding room to a set of instruments, is only worth what the person standing in front of the class can do with it. Ours are qualified, long-serving, and still learning.
Graduates and specialists, rigorously selected, and kept through training rather than turnover.
Class teachers who know every child by name, supported by specialists in music, coding, French and PE.
Administration, welfare and a security team on the gate through every school day.
