Few decisions are as crucial – to both a parent and a child – as deciding which school a child will attend, particularly at the elementary, primary, and secondary school levels, in carrying out the most rewarding task of parenting. Making a school option, on the other hand, has never been more difficult for parents. Take, for example, privately owned schools in Nigeria. In Nigeria, there are over 80,000 registered private schools – and counting. In other words, if a parent can afford to enroll their children in a private school, there are plenty of options to choose from. Despite the fact that Nigeria has a large number of private schools, only a handful of them offer a high-quality education that prepares children for the future. It goes without saying that many private schools are ill-equipped to meet their students’ growing psychosocial and emotional needs. Surprisingly, a few private schools have raised the bar and set the standard for education in Nigeria over the years. These colleges, which are spread across 36 states, not only offer excellent education, but also serve as a model for other educational institutions. Every year, Edusko Africa conducts a thorough review of Nigerian schools in order to present some of the best in the region. The annual ranking of the best schools in Nigeria serves as a reference for aspirational parents and guardians who want nothing more than the best education for their children.

The best schools in Nigeria ranking for 2021 is particularly intriguing because the Covid-19 has had a significant effect on Nigerian education, leaving many private schools in a shadow of their former self. Nonetheless, the best schools in Nigeria in 2021 have effectively navigated the pandemic and have managed to deliver on their pledge of excellence. This year, we gathered data on the 100 schools that were originally chosen from around the country in order to make an educated decision. An independent committee evaluated the schools based on three main criteria:

In the previous year, students’ results in national and international exams. Along with that, recent awards and recognitions were evaluated.
In terms of verifiable contributions to society, verifiable places in top organizations, entrepreneurship, admissions to top universities, and so on, the quality of alumni has improved in the last year.

Below is a summary of our assessment on the best secondary schools in Nigeria and their ranks:
