At Adue International Schools, we are driven by our guiding principle of moulding future leaders through the provision of high-quality, holistic education. Named from the Tiv word Adue, meaning "to blossom," our school stands as a testament to the transformative power of education.

Founded in 2021 by Retired Major General John Seyina Malu and led by Managing Director Mrs. Margaret M. Malu, AIS has quickly emerged as a beacon of excellence in Karshi, Abuja. We follow a Nigerian-British curriculum and are committed to equipping every student with outstanding global leadership skills.

"Moulding future leaders through the provision of high-quality, holistic education."

Director's Speech

Welcome to Adue International Schools, a place where dreams take flight and futures are forged. When I founded this institution in 2021, I envisioned a school that would not merely educate children, but transform them into confident, responsible global leaders.

The name "Adue" — meaning "to blossom" in Tiv — was chosen in honour of my beloved mother, whose sacrifices and love shaped the leader I became today. It is my prayer that every child who walks through our gates will blossom into their fullest potential.

At AIS, we combine the best of Nigerian and British educational standards with a deep commitment to character, integrity, and faith. Our students are not just prepared for examinations; they are prepared for life.

"Education is the greatest gift we can give our children. At AIS, we are committed to giving them the very best."

Join us on this journey of excellence. Together, we will build a generation of leaders who will transform Nigeria and the world.

Learning in the Real World

AIS organises several strategically planned excursions yearly to expose students to new experiences and provide opportunities for hands-on learning.

Excursion 2025

Financial Literacy in Action: AIS Students Visit the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

As part of AIS's commitment to providing real-world learning experiences, students visited the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) headquarters in Abuja. This excursion gave students a rare and invaluable look into Nigeria's financial system, monetary policy, and national economic governance.

Students interacted with CBN officials and gained first-hand exposure to how Nigeria's central banking institution manages currency, inflation, and financial stability — crucial knowledge for any future global leader navigating an increasingly complex economic world.

The trip reinforced AIS's commitment to grooming confident and responsible global leaders who understand both local and international systems.
