Academics

Five carefully structured levels, one continuous journey: from a child's first steps in our Creche to excellent BECE results in Junior High School.

Our Approach

One School, One Standard of Excellence

Every level of the school follows Ghana's GES Standards-Based Curriculum, taught by qualified teachers in deliberately small classes. As pupils move up, expectations rise with them, so that by Junior High School they are fully prepared for the BECE and for the senior high schools of their choice.

Creche pupils at PGFSC

Creche

A warm, safe first environment where our youngest children are cared for, stimulated, and loved while parents are at work.
