A popular saying goes "if you think Education is expensive, try ignorance" that may seem to be the expression by these Abuja based schools which provide very excellent Schooling experience for a few priviledged kids at what most people might call outrageous amounts.

One might argue that if standards are not compromised then indeed these schools may have the world class standard expected of them but their fees well we leave you to judge.

In order of how expensive they are here are Abuja’s top 5 most expensive schools;

American International School of Abuja – N3.2 Million
AISA is Abuja’s most expensive School with School fees starting from $13,000 per annum for kindergarten to as high as $19,300 for 9th to 12th grade (high Schoolers). This doesn’t include other charges and fees such as clubs that parents are expected to pay as well.

Loyola Jesuit College – N2.2 million plus per annum
Perhaps you could argue Abuja’s toughest school for the rich, here Academic and spiritual activities are taken very seriously with no room for sloppiness. The School charges N2 million per annum for each child and that’s just for fees and boarding facilities. But you can be sure of one thing – your child’s Education is in good hands.

International Community School – N1.9 Million per annum
Abuja’ school for the international community better known by its acronym ICS is Abuja’s 3rd most expensive school.

Wow, what a surprise to stumble on this post. Such an old post, though.

Awwe...yup, I'm proudly a product of International Community School (ICS) which was formally situated in Wuse zone 2. I was one of the earliest set and my Father was the PTA chairman (Ambassador Emmanuel). Mrs Feldman from South Africa was the chair lady. Her daughter Venita was my classroom crush, because she was so pretty and Behind. Well, we all were- Behind kids.

I remember our tuition fees were always paid in US dollars. At a point (in grade 4) I was the only Nigerian pupil in my classroom. Lol...I was a big boy oo. The attention was something else... Especially from the other African girls, and the Syrians too. As little as we were, we were going on dates already. Harmless ones, though. No sec. Just hugs and pecks, here and there.
Mrs. Benjamin was our amazing Indian class teacher in grade 3 to 4. I remember now, she was fine and slightly chubby. Joshua was her son's name. He was also a student ( children of teachers were eligible for free enrolment at ICS) Best class ever. So fun and we were always having bazaars and carnivals with mascots and Halloween parties, also, Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Such sublime memories. Different nationalities would cook their native meals and bring to the carnivals and everyone would try out the other country's meals. Italian, American, British, Syrian, Lebanese, Zambian, south African, Nigerian, you name it. They were all represented.
I'm grateful to God for my exposure through my early years in elementary school, ooh. I won't deny that it really shaped me. Hmm..i recall that we all were taught to write in cursive handwriting only, and till date mine is so beautiful to look at. Not that kids did not have other styles of writing, o. But that cursive handwriting was the major one used and encouraged. It was in vogue back then in our school.

Then Mrs Ariko came along in third term grade 4 and all the way to grade 5.

God bless the owner, who was very good to me, and very humble, Mrs. Jane Okpanachi. A an American woman who loved Nigerians so much, she was so down-to-earth and modest. I was one stubborn kid. The class clown, the smart kid, she tried her best abeg.

But the school I was always so envious of was Regent. I felt I should have been there. But ICS was very good too, but not just as good as Regent or AISA (American International School of Abuja) in terms of the serenity of the school. Theirs looked more " foreign" Not forgetting the many soccer matches we played against them on their pitch. We won most, lost some. El Amin (I'm Niger State) used to whip our ass when I came to soccer matches between schools. They were too pkako for us to beat, lol. We were mostly ajebutter children in ICS and Regent School of Abuja, and AISA. Those boys from El Amin international, some of the teammates usually played barefoot and still beat us hands down. El Amin was also a school for the rich elite muslim kids, anyways.

But ICS was still growing at the time, and greatly improved. our school curriculum was entirely iamerican, including all our text books. We used to be awarded these American shiny stickers on our books for a good score earned...awww!! I can see my notebooks right now through my mind's eye. 😊

They are now situated on the jabi-airport road axis. There's another location they

Lol...good memories. Thanks for this memory, Mrs OP. If you're even still on Nairaland. Lol.
