Foundational Details

Raberto School is a Cambridge International accredited school strategically situated in the heart of Abuja. offers an integrated curriculum which is a blend of the Nigerian and British curricula. It is a co-educational day school for children of all ages, different backgrounds, mixed abilities and great potentials. Raberto School was established in 1995 by Mrs. R.A. Ozigi, an experienced professional teacher and educator with over 40 years of successful running of schools in Nigeria. Mrs. Ozigi was fully supported by her late husband Prof. Albert Ozigi (OON), a renowned passionate educationist, an excellent administrator and patriot, who made outstanding contributions to education in Nigeria.

This is the pillar which provides the solid foundation which Raberto School hinges on. Raberto School is a dream come true. With only seven (7) children from around my neighbourhood in Area 11 Garki in 1995, we have produced thousands of very successful graduates, professionals, and entrepreneurs all over the world doing great exploits…. Raberto School consists of Crèche, Playgroup, Nursery, Primary and Secondary sections which are all located within the same premises. This continuous blend adds to the diversity and richness of our community to the benefit of everyone.

This is based on the premise that children profit and benefit from continuity in their learning environment, which enables a smooth transition and follow up on their progress. One of the unique qualities of Raberto school, is the warm welcoming environment and communal spirit, which is evident in the positive relationship among the parents, pupils, students, staff and management. The quest for academic excellence is paramount in Raberto school, however our greatest priority is for every child to discover, maximise and fulfil their potential through our wide range of co-curricular activities.

This is very evident in our excellent results and performance during external events and competitions. The academic excellence for which Raberto is known for comes by the grace of God; my experience as a teacher and an infant method specialist coupled with over 35 years of school management practice; the support of my late husband, Professor Albert Ozigi (OON); an ever dedicated and disciplined workforce; and the goodwill of the parents of our pupils/students. We look forward to receiving you and your wards/children as members of the Raberto family.

School resumes at 7:30 a.m. and closes at 3.00 pm in Nursery /Primary and 3.30 pm in the Secondary section from Mondays through Thursdays, and 12.40 p.m. on Fridays. All students are encouraged to be punctual to school.
Children are required to be in their school uniforms which are provided by the school. There are three sets of school wears, which include: three sets of compound uniform, a cardigan, a set of sportswear for nursery/primary. However, in the secondary section, students are provided with two sets of uniforms, sportswear, a cardigan, a compound uniform with neck tie and a blazer.

The recommended foot wear is black shoes with white socks for nursery and primary, and black socks for secondary. On sports days, all pupils and students put on their sportswear, white socks and white canvass. Extra uniforms can be purchased from the school if needed. Please note that any uniform made outside the school will not be accepted.
In our Nursery/Primary, the class teachers are responsible for the care and wellbeing of the children and report any issues to the sectional heads. However, any serious issues are forwarded to the Head teacher or Assistant head teacher who handles such cases professionally by discussing with parents or advising the pupil where necessary.

In the secondary section, students’ welfare is of great concern and priority to us, that is why we have a vibrant and effective pastoral care system that plays a key role in monitoring students’ achievements; behavioural, social and emotional development. The student support and mentoring team is overseen by the Vice Principal (student affairs) and Guidance counsellor. We also organise special interactive fora for all students where we bring in external facilitators and experts to discuss pertinent teen issues which is a form of enlightenment.
The tone of discipline in the school is high. Both staff and students are well behaved and disciplined according to the school’s code of conduct/rules and behaviour policy and we also ensure every child is conversant with our core values. The school is well known for its zero tolerance to examination malpractice which makes it stand out amongst others. This is reflected in our examination results and admission into higher educational institutions nationally and internationally.
The school has a mini sick bay with a Nurse who carries out routine health checks and provides first aid treatment where necessary during school hours. We have designated clinics for any emergencies. However, we always inform parents, should they prefer to use their own clinics. Parents are advised to keep their children at home whenever they have any infectious diseases like mumps, chicken pox, and measles. We have CCTV cameras at key areas and trained security personnel who monitor movements in and out of the school premises. During closing time, children are only released to their parents, guardians or approved adults who are required to sign before pick up.
The school fees for new intakes include the following; tuition fees, uniforms, books, examination fee and other fees. The bill for new intakes is usually attached to the admission letter. All fees must be paid before resumption for both new intakes and regular pupils/students. School fees are paid through designated banks using tellers which should be returned to the accounts office for issuance of receipts or POS payment.
