A fine blend of a home school, forest school and the good old traditional school — where children aged 6 months to 11 years are encouraged to explore, inspired to learn, think, create and solve problems. Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria.
At The Chrysalis we teach children in small, intimate groups so we can optimise their learning experiences, allowing them to work at their pace, with their natural learning styles. We believe in child-centred learning and fostering pupil-to-pupil relationships, teamwork, and strong teacher-to-pupil bonds. The theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner underpins everything we do.
Children learn by experimenting and observing. They touch, feel, listen, taste and climb — never confined to four walls.
Children have several experiences in natural environments, learning about plants, animals, and what they need to survive.
Small, intimate groups allow us to optimise every child's learning experience and let them work at their own natural pace.
We recognise that every child learns differently and with the right support, all children can achieve beyond expectations.
We support children with ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger's and more — working alongside specialists for the best outcomes.
We raise children who love God, love people, and are groomed to be positive influencers, forward thinkers, and world changers.
We welcome children from 6 months through to 11 years — nurturing every child's unique potential within our extraordinary forest school environment, with passionate, expert care at every stage of their journey.
Warm, professional, and loving care for your youngest. Our crèche provides a secure attachment environment with qualified caregivers, sensory play, and gentle daily routines.
The magic years! Our pre-nursery is a world of colour, song, sensory play, and discovery. Children build language, social confidence, and early learning foundations in a joyful forest-inspired setting.
Our nursery is where curiosity meets learning. Children develop literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking — while climbing trees, meeting animals, and getting wonderfully muddy in our forest grounds.
Reception is where little learners take their first big steps. Children build school readiness, independence, and early academic confidence in our warm, nurturing forest school setting — growing into bold, curious, and joyful individuals.
Our primary school delivers a world-class, holistic education within our one-of-a-kind forest school environment. Children in Year 1 through Year 6 grow into confident, creative, and academically exceptional individuals — ready for whatever comes next.
Our homeschooling support is designed for families who want the quality of a Chrysalis education — from home. We fill every gap with structured plans, expert guidance, and engaging programmes for ages 2–11.
Termly curriculum tailored to your child's age and stage — no guesswork.
Play-based, hands-on learning that combines literacy, numeracy, and creativity.
Know exactly what your child should be learning and how they're growing.
Daily, weekly, or selected days — built around your family's schedule.
We believe that every child is born with extraordinary potential. Our role is simply to create the environment where that potential can bloom.
The Chrysalis Early Childhood School is a premier forest school dedicated to the holistic development of children from 6 months to 11 years. Founded on the belief that the best learning happens through play, exploration, and joyful discovery, we have created a school unlike any other.
Our name says it all — the chrysalis is the quiet, nurturing space where transformation happens. Inside our school, every child undergoes their own remarkable transformation, emerging as confident, creative, and curious individuals ready to take on the world.
To provide every child with an exceptional early education rooted in nature, creativity, and genuine love — so that they enter each new stage of life with confidence, resilience, and joy.
To be the most loved and trusted early childhood school — where every family that walks through our gates feels seen, heard, and part of something truly special.
At The Chrysalis, every outing is a classroom. From train rides to beach days, we take learning beyond four walls and into the world. Every adventure is a memory that shapes a child forever.
All aboard! Real train journeys teach children about travel, schedules, and the world beyond our classroom walls.
Little sailors on the water — brave, curious, and discovering the beauty of rivers and the ocean firsthand.
Face to face with lions, giraffes and zebras — zoo visits ignite a lifelong love for wildlife and nature.
Sun, sand, and the biggest smiles! Beach days teach science, build friendships, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Tiny hands in the soil — planting seeds, feeding animals, and learning the gift of growing their own food.
Junior chefs measuring, mixing, and creating — cooking builds maths, patience, and the pride of making something delicious.
Bold colours, brave brushstrokes, and pure expression — art days celebrate every child's unique creative voice.
Our signature experience — children climb, dig, build dens, and connect with nature in ways that last a lifetime.

Real words from real parents — straight from the heart. 💛
"My daughter has completely transformed since joining The Chrysalis. She comes home every single day excited to tell me what she discovered. The forest sessions are magical — she identified 8 different plants last week!"
"From the crèche staff to the primary teachers, every single person here genuinely loves children. I drop my son off every morning with complete peace in my heart. That is not easy to find in Lagos."
"My son was reading before he turned four. I did not believe it was possible until I saw it with my own eyes. The way they make phonics fun and connect it to real things — it is just brilliant."
"My child used to dread learning. Now he wakes up and asks what adventure they are going on today! The Chrysalis does not just teach children — it makes them fall in love with learning."
"The attention to each child as an individual is what sets this school apart. My daughter has dyslexia and they work with specialists to support her. I have never felt so seen as a parent."
"The cooking class, the farm visit, the train ride — my son talks about Chrysalis adventures ALL the time. His confidence has grown enormously. Best decision we ever made for our family."
