About Camilla Brook School
Founded in 2010 by Mrs. Olayinka Lahanmi, Camilla Brook School has grown into one of Lagos's most trusted co-educational institutions. We provide a rich, child-centred learning environment that blends the best of the British & Nigerian curriculum with Montessori principles.
Our two learning stages — Early Years (Foundation & Exploration) and Primary Years (Self-Application & Growth) — are designed to nurture holistic development and prepare every pupil to become a confident, compassionate leader of tomorrow.
Our Journey
What began as a vision for a better kind of schooling in Lagos has grown into a thriving, award-recognised institution. Every milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to the children in our care.
Camilla Brook School was founded by Mrs. Olayinka Lahanmi with a vision to combine academic rigour with Montessori-inspired nurturing.
Expanded from Early Years into a full Primary programme, offering a seamless learning journey from nursery through to Year 6.
Opened new purpose-built classrooms, an ICT suite, sports court, and dedicated arts space — transforming the school environment.
Reached a milestone of over 500 enrolled pupils and launched our online learning portal, connecting CBS families beyond the classroom.
What Drives Us
To spark a lifelong passion for learning, cultivate personal and academic excellence, and nurture a culture rooted in kindness, integrity, and social responsibility. We build the right foundation for lifelong learning through purpose-built environments and educational activities deliberately crafted to inspire happy, confident, and responsible learners — preparing our students to lead purposeful lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
To provide a good foundation for life-long learning. We place a child's potential at the heart of everything we do — nurturing each individual's ability to learn, valuing their differences, and helping them achieve the best possible version of themselves within a positive, diverse community where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
What We Stand For
We embrace creative, forward-thinking approaches to teaching and learning, blending EYFS, Montessori, and modern technology.
We work together — pupils, teachers, and parents — in partnership towards shared goals for every child.
We take ownership of our actions and our commitments to every child, every family, and one another.
We honour the dignity, opinions, and differences of everyone in our community, treating all with fairness.
We instil in our pupils a strong sense of duty towards themselves, others, and the wider world.
We nurture the ability to understand and genuinely care about the feelings and experiences of others.
The Pupil We Nurture
Every learner who passes through Camilla Brook School is shaped to carry these qualities well beyond our gates — ultimately prepared not just for success, but for a life enriched by purpose, impact, and fulfilment.
How We Work
We adapt learning experiences and activities to each child's uniqueness and interests. For us, every child counts, every child matters.
We operate in an exceptional, child-friendly environment. Our classrooms and play areas are lovely, safe, and well equipped.
We shape our programmes using best practice in the classroom, in collaboration with parents — because every child deserves positive relationship models.
Beyond Academics
We believe in nurturing not just young minds but also young hearts, growing compassionate and responsible individuals.
We teach our pupils to honour each other's differences and appreciate the unique qualities everyone brings — listening, valuing opinions, and treating everyone with dignity.
Small acts of kindness make a big difference. Whether a smile, a helping hand, or a kind word, we encourage pupils to spread positivity every day.
We instil the importance of honesty and strong moral principles — doing the right thing even when no one is watching, and owning one's actions.
