Lagos Preparatory School (LPS) is a private coeducational day school in the affluent Ikoyi suburb of Lagos, Nigeria, and has adopted the UK National Curriculum; it was established in 2002. The school provides primary and middle school education for children up to age 13+ as well as daycare facilities for children from 18 months or older.
In 2010, the school qualified for the Every Child Matters Standards Award. According to a firm called Educational Consultancy & Management (ECM) Solutions, Lagos Prep was the first international school to qualify for its ECM Standards Award.
The school has aligned itself with standards and curricular requirements of the UK National Curriculum but with an added emphasis on Nigerian history, geography and culture. As a member of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS), an accredited member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA), LPS claims to be "currently the most highly accredited British prep school in Africa."
The Council of British International Schools (COBIS) recognises Lagos Preparatory School as one of 33 Executive member schools, noting that Lagos Prep "remains the only school in Africa in both IAPS and COBIS." Aside from the British International School in Cairo and the Maadi British International School, also in Cairo, Lagos Prep is the only school in Africa that is COBIS-accredited; the others are in various European countries, Brunei, China, the Middle East and Turkey.
