The American International School of Abuja was founded in 1993 by a group of parents and U.S. Embassy officials who recognized the need for a school to prepare Nigerian-resident students to continue their education in American schools overseas. The school grew to become the leading international school in Abuja and gained a diverse international population. It has more than 40 nationalities represented among its student and staff population, with the majority of students and faculty coming from overseas, and it remains part of the local community by celebrating the local culture each year.
AISA has a diverse community of students, parents, educators and staff from 41 different countries nestled in Abuja with its vibrant culture and community. The school is an active part of the local community and annually takes time to celebrate the local culture.
The PTA is managed by a team of five parents, a teacher representative and a representative of the administration. The PTA President for 2024-2025 is Muna H. Daoud. The PTA regularly hosts events and volunteers to support school activities, operates the PTA Shop and Lounge, and funds events and outreach such as concessions tables during events, WAISAL and club trips.
