CURRICULUM
While teaching the basics of the formal education syllabus prescribed by the Ghana Education Service, we seek to develop the intellectual, physical, moral, emotional and social abilities of our students. The programmes are designed to provide an all-round education to enable the students develop into productive, conscientious and self-respecting members of society.
The pivotal point of our curriculum is the development of critical thinking skills. We believe in teaching pupils and students how to think rather than what to think. We want our students to be able to analyze and evaluate what they are.
