German School Abuja
German School Abuja (German: Deutsche Schule Abuja) is a German international school located on the grounds of the Julius Berger Life Camp in Gwarinpa, Abuja, Nigeria.[1] Its classes go from kindergarten to class 5.[2] The construction company Julius Berger Nigeria PLC operates the school.[3]
Like many German international schools, the Abuja school is smaller than other international schools in the area because it targets German citizens and native speakers of German, and it only accepts small numbers of students who do not natively speak German.[4] It was scheduled to begin offering an English language stream in 2017.[5]

" ("The reason for this [smaller size of German-language schools compared to bilingual schools] is the school concept of the German-language schools with German educational goals. As so-called expat schools these are mostly targeted at German nationals and native German speakers and only admit a limited number of children who are native speakers of a different language (the German school in Nigeria is such an example).")
