Nigerian Tulip International Colleges (NTIC) school fees for the 2026/2027 session are estimated at ₦1,500,000 to ₦2,200,000 per year for Primary, ₦2,200,000 to ₦2,800,000 per year for Secondary Day students, and ₦3,200,000 to ₦6,700,000 per year for Secondary Boarding students, depending on the branch and campus. NTIC does not publish an official fee schedule online, so parents should confirm exact figures directly with their preferred branch before making payment.
NTIC is a private school network, not a university or polytechnic, and it does not use the Post UTME or JAMB admission system. This guide covers Nursery, Primary, and Secondary school fees only.
About Nigerian Tulip International Colleges
Nigerian Tulip International Colleges was founded in 1998 by the First Surat Group and operates as a group of co-educational private schools across several Nigerian states, including Abuja, Lagos, Ogun, Kaduna, Kano, and Yobe.The school combines Nigerian and British academic standards and prepares students for WAEC, IGCSE, and international exams such as SAT and TOEFL.
At the Abuja campus specifically, the school follows the Nigerian national curriculum for Nursery, Primary, and Secondary levels, while using the Cambridge curriculum for Secondary students, with IGCSE options available for the senior cycle.
School Fees Breakdown
Note on data reliability: NTIC does not publish fees publicly, and figures reported by third-party sources vary considerably by branch and by year. The table below presents the most commonly reported ranges. Treat these as estimates only, not confirmed official figures.
| Level | Estimated Tuition Range (Per Session) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nursery | ₦1,500,000 – ₦2,000,000 | Day students; varies by branch |
| Primary (Day) | ₦1,600,000 – ₦2,200,000 | Varies by branch and curriculum track |
| Secondary (Day) | ₦2,200,000 – ₦2,800,000 | JSS1 – SS3, non-boarding branches |
| Secondary (Boarding, Abuja) | ₦6,100,000 – ₦6,700,000 | Includes tuition; excludes uniforms and provisions in some reports |
| Secondary (Boarding, Other Branches) | ₦3,200,000 – ₦3,800,000 | Figures reported vary widely by source |
Because reported figures for boarding fees range from about ₦3.2 million to ₦6.7 million depending on the source and branch, prospective parents should always request a written, branch-specific fee schedule from NTIC admissions before budgeting.
Additional Fees
Beyond tuition, NTIC families typically budget for the following one-time and recurring costs:
- Admission/Registration Fee: ₦15,000 – ₦25,000 (one-off, new students; some sources report a wider range of ₦10,000 – ₦50,000 depending on campus)
- Uniforms: ₦30,000 – ₦50,000

Accommodation Fees
Boarding is available at select NTIC campuses, particularly in Abuja, and is priced separately from day-student tuition.
- Boarding fees generally include feeding and accommodation alongside tuition
- Day students should budget an additional ₦50,000 – ₦100,000 per session for feeding and transportation, since this is not included in day-student tuition
- Boarding capacity and availability differ by branch; not all NTIC campuses offer boarding
Important Notes for Students and Parents
- NTIC does not publish official fees on its website. All figures in this guide are drawn from third-party school directories, education aggregator sites, and parent-reported figures, not an official NTIC fee schedule.
- Fees vary significantly by branch. The Abuja campus, particularly the boarding option, is reported to be substantially more expensive than other branches.
- Confirmed 2026/2027 figures were not found as a single official publication at the time of writing. The ranges above reflect figures reported for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions combined and may not reflect the exact current rate.
- Always verify directly with the school before making any payment. Contact the admissions office of your preferred branch or visit the official NTIC website for a confirmed, branch-specific fee schedule.
- Pay only through official channels. Reported payment methods include bank transfer and select banking apps (for example, GTBank’s GTCollections service), with proof of payment typically required at registration. Avoid third parties who are not officially affiliated with the school.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is NTIC an expensive school? Yes, relative to many private schools in Nigeria, NTIC is considered a premium institution. Day-student fees run into the low millions of naira per session, and boarding fees at the Abuja campus have been reported as high as ₦6.7 million per year.
Can NTIC fees be paid in instalments? Some branches may offer instalment plans, but this is not confirmed publicly and appears to vary by campus. Parents should contact their specific branch directly to ask about instalment options.
Does the fee vary by branch or curriculum track? Yes. Fees differ depending on the state and branch (Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Ogun, Yobe), the level (Nursery, Primary, or Secondary), and whether the student is a day or boarding student.
Does NTIC use JAMB or Post UTME for admission? No. NTIC is a Nursery-to-Secondary private school, not a university or polytechnic, so it does not use the JAMB or Post UTME admission process. Admission is typically through a school-administered entrance examination.
