Re: Top 5 Secondary Schools In Abuja by Egalitarian1: 3:34pm On Jul 26, 2025
Rubbish!

No be by high tuition fees but quality of education.
None of these high tuition fee institutions has produced the best graduating student in Nigerian Law School. It has always been students from federal and state own universities.

I attended Government Science Secondary School Paykasa (now Government Science Secondary School Paykasa-Maitama, Abuja), and public universities too (ANSU, UI and UNN) but I am sound in what I do, no be whyning! Thanks to God and the public institutions I attended. So, as such, I know what I am telling you. Forget all these packaging by private schools, na money dem dey waste there.

Benford International School is also a very good that runs a blended curriculum (Nigerian-British) making your ward(s) academically sound to sit waec (Nigerian Exam) and Igcse (British Exam),; your ward(s) is not disadvantaged wherever they find themselves. Benford gives you whatever the schools above offer and more.

The first school on the list isn't well known among big private schools in Abuja.

Loyola Jesuit and Nigerian Tulip are well known for academic excellence. Loyola is a well run catholic-owned school, Tulip is owned and run by Turks. However, staff welfare and remuneration in the two schools aren't very impressive.

AISA and Raegent are fantastic schools with good academic records and staff welfare and remunerations.

Abuja world, Start-Rite are good schools too.

Give it to Jesuit Loyola College, they stand out. May the memories of their students who died in the Sosoliso plane crash be at peace.
It was a great a national tragedy.

Re: Top 5 Secondary Schools In Abuja by Davehasmadeit(m): 4:09pm On Jul 26, 2025
Forming best schools were as they keep producing students without manners. What's the value of education when children don't understand the society has norms and values that should be adhered to?. I happen to be a teacher in Abuja and I bet you all, parents decide what and how their kids should be taught.

America International School is not far from my former place in Area 1 Durumi.

Their school fees is running into millions of Naira.
However the best WAEC student is from a public school in Nigeria.
The Girl who won the mathematics competition is also from a public school.
The truth is that those schools in Abuja are overrated.
They only teach them how to speak English like black Americans.
Book Dem no know.
