Our school’s aim to foster growth and development through a rigorous Christian academic environment for brilliant but needy children, and to inspire active and creative minds through a challenging learning environment as well as promoting values of compassion, courage, respect and leadership through teamwork and global participation.
We offer classes in Science, English, ICT, Language (such as French), Math, and other subjects, teaching exclusively in English.
Our students participate in significant field trips to Museums, Theater, the Accra International Airport, the Tema Port, trips to the beach, plus annual service trips into the community. Every year includes an Easter egg hunt, Halloween party complete with a parade through the neighborhood and of course, Christmas celebrations. Praise & Worship is a weekly Wednesday event that includes singing, dancing and Prayer.
We also provide tech growth with weekly classes and competitions in Coding & Robotics. The students can choose to march with Cadets to build self discipline and/or make environmental improvements by picking up trash on the beach.
We teach students from pre-nursery through junior high 3 levels. After junior high, off they go to their secondary studies!
We currently have 15 classrooms and 21 teachers and teacher assistants, along with administration. Our school is currently at max capacity with a long wait list!
In order to financially support our ministry, we pair generous donors to students in significant financial need through our sponsorship program. Sponsors give a student an opportunity to learn who might not be able to receive an education otherwise. We also heavily encourage our students to attend university and have even created a “Money Management” program that adds money to the student’s “college fund” each day they meet certain requirements (attendance, punctuality, excellent behavior, etc.)
We accept financial and item donations. One of our main initiatives as of 2023 is raising money to be able to build our new school. The new school will open up room for us to help even more students. We have begun the process, but we need your help to complete it!
In addition to our efforts to help the brilliant but needy, we have conducted multiple environmental and social welfare projects in conjunction with Rotary International and other organizations. Among those are building a well, an "adopt-a-gutter" campaign, a toxic waste cleanup, providing polio vaccines, breast cancer awareness and self-exam workshops, and more.
We are grateful to God for the opportunity to teach all of our bright students and to encourage them to pursue excellence through education.
Thank you to our sponsors for helping us to be the hands and feet of Christ in Medie, Ghana!
