Raising the standard of education in the Federal Capital Territory

ACES Nursery, Primary and Secondary School was established in June 2004 with a clear and enduring purpose: to raise the standard of education available to children and young people in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Built on a foundation of academic rigour, moral integrity and holistic child development, ACES has grown into one of Abuja’s most trusted educational institutions.

The school was incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in 1993, received full accreditation from the FCT Education Department in 2007, and achieved complete accreditation by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) in 2026 — affirming its commitment to the highest national and international standards of educational delivery.

Parent Partnership

Parents are co-educators, not spectators

At ACES Schools, we believe that a child’s education is a shared journey between school and home. Parents are valued co-educators whose involvement makes a measurable difference to their child’s learning outcomes, wellbeing and confidence.

We actively cultivate parent engagement through school assemblies, open days, parent-teacher meetings, special events and structured home learning activities. Our culture of open communication ensures that parents are always informed, heard and involved.
