In response to the public outcry over the reported N42 million annual school fees for primary school students at Charterhouse, a newly established private British school in Lagos, the management has issued a statement.
Mr. Damilola Olatunbosun, the school’s Director of Communications, Admissions, and Marketing, stepped forward to address the criticism surrounding the hefty fees. He defended the pricing by underscoring Charterhouse’s commitment to providing a prestigious and value-driven education, which he argued justifies the high cost.
Olatunbosun emphasized that Charterhouse distinguishes itself as more than just a conventional educational institution; it is a world-class establishment that appeals to parents seeking top-tier education for their children.
He noted a significant interest from parents, both locally and internationally, who recognize the inherent value of Charterhouse’s educational offerings.

Responding to concerns about the affordability of the fees, Olatunbosun pointed out that Charterhouse provides a level of quality comparable to leading schools in the UK.
He asserted that, in comparison to the expenses associated with sending children abroad for education, enrolling them at Charterhouse presents a more cost-effective option for parents.
Despite facing criticism, Charterhouse remains resolute in its dedication to delivering value for the investment in education. The institution highlights the unique opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities it offers to students as evidence of its commitment to excellence.
