Founder’s Message
GAAT International School began with a simple but powerful desire—to give every child a fair chance at quality education. This dream was brought to life by Sen. Ikechukwu G. Abana, whose passion for helping others inspired the creation of a school where no child is left behind because of financial limitations.
Since establishment in September 2017, GAAT has grown into more than just a place of learning—it has become a community. A place where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be their best. Here, students are not just taught; they are nurtured, guided, and inspired to discover who they can become.
The vision has always been clear: provide quality education at an affordable cost, while also creating opportunities for young Nigerians to build meaningful careers. Every step taken is driven by a genuine commitment to making a difference in people’s lives.
At the heart of it all is a belief that education should transform lives, not just fill classrooms. As the Founder often says:
“My goal is not financial gain, but to provide quality education that transforms lives.”
— Sen. I. G. Abana, Founder and Chairman, Board of Directors.
