Dual Curriculum

The best of both educational worlds

ACES Schools offers a dual curriculum that combines the British National Curriculum with the Nigerian National Curriculum — providing students with the best of both educational worlds.

This integrated approach ensures that your child is rooted in Nigerian values and academic standards while being fully prepared for study anywhere in the world.

Our curriculum is enriched by a robust programme of extra-curricular activities — including sports, the arts, clubs and community engagement — designed to develop leadership, creativity and teamwork alongside academic achievement.

Beyond the Classroom

Learning applied to the real world

At ACES Schools, we prepare students not just for examinations, but for life. Students are encouraged to apply classroom knowledge to real-world contexts through:

  • Assembly presentations that build public speaking and confidence
  • Educational excursions across the Federal Capital Territory and beyond
  • Structured visits to government institutions and other organisations of significance
  • Sports, the arts, clubs and community engagement

These experiences develop critical thinking, self-confidence, leadership and a genuine love of learning.
