The School
Welcome to The New Abuja Capital International College – one of Africa’s most innovative schools. NACIC is a co-educational, non-denominational international college, which offers multiple learning programs to prepare students for the college or university of their choice, anywhere in the world.
To that end, we utilize the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, recognized by universities and employers worldwide. We have also partnered with Alliance Française to prepare students for the Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF) examination, allowing students to apply to any university in the Francophone world. In addition, we have an academic track for those wishing to take the WAEC and SSCE, as well as an immersion program in Arabic, for those who may wish to matriculate in the Middle-East and other Arab speaking countries.
It is our commitment that young people in our care will grow as unique individuals and have the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Our motto, Learning for Life, means we will not limit ourselves to the pursuit of academic excellence. Far from it; we offer a holistic approach that allows students to pursue their intellectual, artistic, technological, and sporting passions.
