EARLY YEARS & PRIMARY
Russell International School is a vibrant and nurturing learning community located in Lekki, Lagos, committed to providing an exceptional foundation for your child’s educational journey.
Established with a passion for fostering confident, curious, and compassionate learners, our school blends globally recognised educational approaches with a rich, culturally responsive experience.
EARLY YEARS
In our Nursery section, we deliver a child-centred curriculum that integrates the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with Montessori principles.
This combination ensures that young children benefit from structured developmental goals alongside hands-on, exploratory learning experiences.
Through this blended approach, children develop independence, creativity, confidence, and essential early literacy and numeracy skills —laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and smooth transition into primary education.
PRIMARY
At the Primary level, Russell School offers a balanced blend of the British and Nigerian curricula, combining the strengths of internationally recognized British educational standards with the core requirements of the Nigerian National Curriculum.
This dual approach equips pupils with strong academic foundations, cultural awareness, critical thinking abilities, and the skills needed to thrive both locally and globally.
"Our commitment across both Nursery and Primary levels is to deliver holistic education that promotes academic excellence, strong character development, leadership qualities, and a genuine love for learning — preparing every child for continued success in the years ahead.
