Welcome to Abba Coterie

A home for learning, faith and friendship

Founded on the 27th of September 1999 as a co-educational Christian day school, Abba Coterie began with a simple conviction: that every child carries a measure of greatness waiting to be drawn out. In September 2012 we extended that promise into secondary education, so a child can grow with us from their very first day of nursery through to graduation.

Today, families across Ikorodu trust us to blend strong academics with Christian values, creativity and care — raising young people who are confident, kind and ready for the world.
