Aduvie International School Abuja Admissions & About the School

Aduvie, derived from a Nigerian language means ``a good future, a good thing or a good foresight``. She has her roots in the rich Nigerian culture.
 
Aduvie International School was established in January 2008. It is located in a spacious and serene area in the heart of the Abuja which houses two academic blocks, sport and boarding facilities and staff residences.

Aduvie has a special need class, with seasoned and well-trained therapists. In addition, our special needs children (Jewel Class) learn under the tutelage of teachers in the regular classes and are involved in the activities of the School.

The cradle of excellence, a bedrock on which Aduvie is founded, has a blend of the Nigerian school system, Montessori, British and International Baccalaureate curricula.

The School has various co-curricular and extracurricular activities which aid the formation of individual character and improvement in learning abilities. Some of these activities include debating, math, science, music, French, Mandarin, Spanish, swimming and karate clubs, among others.

Aduvie has pupils and teachers from diverse nationalities who facilitate the learning of different cultures by the students.

In Aduvie, we believe in learning through traveling and visiting places which broadens the children's views and leaves indelible marks in their minds. This belief has made us take trips to France, Ethiopia, USA and Dubai, where sites such as museums, zoos, major landmarks and schools were visited.

Aduvie exudes a family-friendly atmosphere, which parents, pupils, teachers and friends have come to rely on. To encourage and promote friendships, the School organizes curriculum and open days, art and science exhibitions, fanfares and picnics.

In our pursuit for excellence and need to be part of the global village, Aduvie is a member of Association of Private Educators in Nigeria (APEN), a registered center with CIE, an accredited testing center for Microsoft Academy and is presently working towards becoming an International Baccalaureate School.

Aduvie won for two consecutive years The Nigerian Advancement Award for Best Performing Primary School in Abuja. She is also a recipient of the prestigious 2014 African Achievers' Award under the category tagged “Award for Quality Education in West Africa”. Aduvie students won the national challenge for Microsoft Academy in two categories and represented Nigeria in the 2015 and 2016 World Championship in the USA.
