NTIC School Fees for 2025/2026: What We Know

NTIC does not disclose its fees online, a practice common among some private schools. However, a reliable X post by

@_QueenBeiee on September 8, 2024, states that NTIC Abuja’s boarding school fees for secondary students are ₦6,100,000 per year, excluding additional costs like books, uniforms, and provisions, which may bring the total to around ₦6,500,000. For other branches and non-boarding students, we can estimate based on historical data and inflation adjustments:

• Secondary School (JSS1–SS3, Non-Boarding, Other Branches): ₦2,200,000–₦2,500,000 per year (estimated, based on 2021 fees of ₦1,900,000 adjusted for inflation).
• Primary School (Nursery–Primary 6, Day Students): ₦1,800,000–₦2,000,000 per year (estimated).
• Other Costs: Admission fee (₦15,000–₦25,000), uniforms (₦30,000–₦50,000), and optional excursions (e.g., trips to Turkey, ₦500,000).
  Note: These figures for non-Abuja branches are estimates, as NTIC does not publish fees. The ₦6,100,000 fee for NTIC Abuja is sourced from @_QueenBeiee’s X post, which aligns with anecdotal reports of NTIC’s premium pricing.

Why Choose NTIC?

NTIC’s science-focused curriculum, modern facilities (e.g., smart boards, science labs), and global exposure (e.g., SAT prep, ISO participation) make it a top choice. The school hosts events like TEDxNTICAbujaYouth on May 10, 2025, themed “PASSION.” However, the high fees at NTIC Abuja (₦6,100,000) reported by

@_QueenBeiee have sparked debate on X, with

@Uthmern_ replying, “I blame the parents paying such amount,” reflecting frustration over costs. The lack of fee transparency—NTIC doesn’t publish fees online—further frustrates parents, forcing direct inquiries.

Estimated fees for other branches (₦2,200,000–₦2,500,000) are more affordable but still high for many Nigerian families (minimum wage: ₦30,000/month). The 2017 kidnapping incident at an NTIC campus raises past safety concerns, though no recent incidents are reported.

Compared to AISL, NTIC is cheaper but lacks the IB Diploma option. Share your thoughts on NTIC’s fees in the comments, and follow us for more updates!
