The Marcel Pagnol French School Abuja was created in 1998. It is approved by the French Ministry of National Education and is under the network of the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad).

Originally, the school was located in the BNL Life Camp, located in the west of the city.

The old school has been replaced by a new structure. Work began in September 2009. Our new facility opened in April 2010. It is located after the Prince and Princess Estate in the south of the city.

The Marcel Pagnol French School of Abuja is one of the 494 French schools established in the world and which depend on the AEFE (the Agency for French Education Abroad), a public institution that is part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
