ICS Abuja was founded in 1998 with eight students and three educators. By 2012 the first campus had reached full capacity. ICS became a member of the Council of International Schools and the Principal's Training Center, and was locally accredited by Abuja DQA. It was fully accredited by CIS and the Middle States Association (MSA) in 2006 and re-accredited in 2023/2024. In August 2013 ICS relocated to its current campus designed to nurture a larger student body. It now serves Play Group through Grade 12, with three classes at each grade level, welcoming a diverse and growing learning community.
ICS Abuja collaborates in a globally diverse community. The school celebrates and shares its diverse cultures and national traditions to enhance international understanding and show appreciation for the cultures and customs of the country in which we live. The mission emphasizes partnership with the entire school community and a warm family atmosphere.
An active PTA provides valuable support and assistance to the school.
