Sisters of the Holy Child collaborate with the Jesuits in administering Loyola Jesuit College (LJC), a coed secondary school in Gidan Mangoro, outside of Abuja, Nigeria's capital. In West Africa, the term 'college' and 'secondary school' are interchangeable. Loyola includes three years of Junior Secondary School (JSS) and three years of Senior Secondary School (SSS), roughly equivalent to grades 7 through 12 in the United States.
