Lagos private schools prepare students for WAEC and NECO while a growing international tier runs British or IB programmes. The Lagos State Ministry of Education is the local authority families and proprietors actually deal with, even when the campus markets a foreign curriculum.

Fees are in Nigerian Naira, often in termly waves that coincide with fuel and generator costs. A fee module that cannot show a defaulter view by class will not survive a Lagos term.

Nigerian Naira term fees; generator and development levies should be named heads, not informal cash. September-ish starts are common; public holidays and election days belong on the holiday master.

Transport, meals, and boarding need the same date. Otherwise finance and the gate disagree. Paid closures for contractors and staff are employment and vendor questions, not a software default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
