Wellington College International and Rendeavour Announce Wellington College International Lagos in Alaro City, Nigeria

Wellington College International (WCI) is pleased to announce its first expansion into Africa through a strategic partnership with Rendeavour, Africa’s largest new city builder. This collaboration will see the establishment of Wellington College International Lagos in Alaro City, Nigeria - a purpose-built co-educational day and boarding school for 1,500 students aged 3–18, opening in September 2027.

This milestone reflects WCI’s commitment to extending its distinctive educational ethos to regions of growing global significance. Nigeria’s dynamic economy and long-standing demand for international education make it an ideal location for Wellington College’s first African school, bringing a world-class British education closer to home and contributing to the development of future leaders in West Africa.
