Reformed and conceived as a contemporary school for science, art, social science, and entrepreneurial studies, Unique Secondary School is a citadel of unique standards and academic excellence.
Unique Schools is made up of a Nursery & Primary School and a Secondary School, and is committed to giving quality education to pupils and students irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or status.Unique Nursery/primary School, the foundation school, was founded on 9th of September, 1995 while the secondary school was founded on 1st September, 1998 as a day secondary school. Nine years after its inception, the secondary school extended its policy to become a boarding college, enabling it to accommodate students from outside Makurdi. There are also plans in the works for Unique Technical College.
Unique Schools are all co-educational private schools for young persons between the ages of 3 – 6 years (for Nursery/Primary) and 11 – 18 years (for Secondary and Technical Schools. Our multicultural campuses are friendly and supportive with a unique blend of diversity where social networking abounds and friendships are forged.
Unique Schools’ policy trust deviates from the common dimensional academic landscape which has become a wasteland of students regurgitating text books rather than a thorough understanding of what they have been taught hence unique graduates being produced by the schools year in year out. We aim by our approach to cultivate in our students the innate ability to interpret and own the subjects being taught in the classroom. We have devised a solution by designing programmes that will create a three dimensional educational system that produces well-moulded citizens. This is done by utilizing their imagination to develop critical thinking skills. The greatest gift to man is the ability to imagine, it is the truth place of our ability.
To realize the goals and objectives of our schools, state of the art facilities have been provided including an ultramodern science laboratory, staff residential halls, students’ halls of residence, modernized water supply, sports facilities and a faculty of professional and committed teachers with a passion for excellence.
Achievements
An extensive check will reveal that it is not in vain that we pride ourselves with revered name of UNIQUE.

We performed brilliantly in all external examinations (WAEC, NECO and JAMB). We have won awards including Overall Winner, Benue State Schools Cultural Festival, 2010.
