Our Curriculum

Montessori foundations, national standards

We combine the hands-on Montessori method in the early years with Ghana's standards-based curriculum, so children enjoy learning and excel in national assessments.

Learn by doing

Concrete materials and real activities turn abstract ideas into understanding.

Continuous assessment

Termly grades combine class work (S.B.A.) and end-of-term exams, weighted 50/50.

BECE ready

Our JHS pupils are thoroughly prepared for the Basic Education Certificate Examination.
