As we are about to start a new school session and a new term, many teachers will switch from one school to another and pupils change schools. Families moving out to other parts of Lagos may equally move their children to other schools at their new locations, and those coming into Ojodu LCDA and its environs will consider new schools in this area.
Whatever the case, there are several public and private schools in Ojodu LCDA that children can attend this coming school term. Some of these are –

If you have any good reasons to change schools for your children within the Ojodu area, please do. But be certain the new school you are taking them is better than the former school in terms of education, proximity, affordable fees, and other required standards.
Having listed some of the schools in Ojodu-Berger and its environs for your kids, there are some factors you must consider before registering your kids in these schools. These include –
Proximity to home
If you live or work in the Ojodu area of Lagos, one of the first things you must consider before registering your kids in any school is nearness to home. Ojudu is very big and it comprises many residential estates. So you must consider putting your kids in schools nearest to your home or workplace so as to relieve commuting problems for both parents and schoolchildren.
Affordable rates
Affordability is another factor that must be considered when shopping for suitable schools for your kids in Ojodu and beyond. While people naturally associate quality with high costs, this is not always the case. A school with N300K as their fees per term is not necessarily better than one with N65K as their fees per term. You must however choose schools based on your income and capability to pay with ease. Remember fees are not the only expenses associated with your kids’ education.
Academic excellence
Some schools are better than others in terms of academic excellence. Meanwhile, a school’s prestigious structure may not correlate with academic performance. Academic performances should be the first consideration and not necessarily the grandeur of the physical edifice. You will confirm a school’s academic value by the brilliance of their students and the qualifications of their teachers.
Extra-curricular activities
You want your children to excel academically, but you sure also want them to excel in sports and other extra-curricular activities. You must consider a school that distinguishes itself from others in terms of extra-curricular programs when choosing schools for your children in Ojodu. Your kids should stand out in sporting activities, fitness exercises, intellectual debates, and tourism knowledge because of the school they attend.
Bus transportation
Unless you drive your own car, it is best to choose a school with transportation services if the school is not located within your neighborhood. School buses are essential if students come from far and near; this ensures that school kids get to the school directly from their homes and also return home directly from school without any risks of kidnapping or loss. Unless a school is within trekkable distance from your residence, choose a school with school bus facilities.
Medical services
A school is not a hospital, but you’d want a school with medical services for your children. This will be a life-saver if your kids ever get injured in school or if they become ill. The school’s sickbay will be able to administer First-Aid and then notify parents before possible transfer to a nearby hospital.
There may be other factors for choosing a school in Ojodu and other parts of Lagos not listed above. But you may want to add these in the comment section below.
