About: American International School of Abuja (AISA)
The American International School of Abuja (AISA) was founded in 1993 when a group of parents and US Embassy officials recognised the need for a school that would adequately prepare students who reside in Nigeria to continue their education in American schools overseas.
AISA quickly grew to become the most prominent international school within Abuja and gained a diverse International population. AISA now has over 40 different nationalities represented among our student and staff population with the majority of students and faculty being from overseas.
AISA’s rigorous American curriculum and AP capstone program challenges and empowers our students to attend universities all over the world, not just in Nigeria or America. To that end, 100% of graduating students get into universities worldwide.
AISA has experienced guidance counsellors preparing students to make the best impression for universities and regularly graduate students into some of the top universities worldwide.
