Lead British International School
The school has been in operation in Abuja for at least ten years now and in that time has established a credible status. What is more, they have branches in other parts of Nigeria and is backed by a corporate structure. Its clientele, like most of the schools on this list, is mostly composed of children of ex-pats and high network Nigerians. Education here is a complete one as the student is even given pre-varsity education.

Broadoaks British School
The school teaches French from year 1 and that is something I consider unique. It started out as an early learning centre for pre-schoolers and in eight years has grown into a full-fledged learning facility for all schooling levels pre-tertiary. The environment is conducive as it is ensconced in the plush and affluent Maitama district of Abuja.

The Regent School
The school is still only a primary school at best but the standards are pretty high with its small student to teacher ratio and long admission’s waiting list. The school is highly recommended in the British School Overseas (BSO) program and is the first to be accredited under the program in Abuja. Transition is from primary to secondary is a breeze, as the school has a secondary school too.
