The Association of Private Educators in Nigeria (APEN) was founded in 2002. It is run by a board of trustees from schools around Nigeria who are owners of their respective schools. The board includes experts in education who have the sole motivation to unite private schools under the APEN umbrella. Together, they seek to improve the educational system in our nation. APEN represents the interests o
f private schools in Nigeria and has a membership of schools which range in size from 20 to 2000 students. All our member schools have an international focus and through our programmes and services, APEN provides for the varying needs of nearly 50,000 students and about 5,000 teachers and administrators. In partnership with our Affiliate members, which are businesses, school-to-school partners, and educational organizations, the Association serves as a support organization for private schools throughout Nigeria. APEN is affiliated with Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa, ISASA, and National Association of Independent Schools, NAIS.
