OUR SCHOOL DENOMINATION

CRECHE

Our school denomination starts from the creche.

The key difference between creche and preschool is that a creche is a place where babies, toddlers, and children are looked after when their parents are at work or not around, whereas a preschool is a place that provides education for children between the ages of three to five or six years.

Although children in creches do not have an age limit, children who receive preschool education are between three years to six years. But this may vary from one country to another.

NURSERY

We also offer nursery education.

A preschool, also known as nursery school, pre-primary school, play school or creche, is an educational establishment or learning space offering early childhood education to children before they begin compulsory education at primary school.

KINDERGARTEN

The Kindergarten is no exception of our school denomination.

Kindergarten is a preschool educational approach based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction as part of the transition from home to school

LOWER PRIMARY

We also run lower primary education as part of primary education.

In Ghana, children are obliged to attend school from the age of 6. This is also the age at which they start primary education. Primary education lasts for 6 years and consists of a 3-year lower primary phase

UPPER PRIMARY

The upper primary education is an advance class of the lower primary.

Upper primary education means educating all students up to the age of 14, which is equivalent to completing the second cycle of primary education

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

We run a complete Junior High School education. It spans from J.H.S 1 to J.H.S 3.

Also known as middle school which is an educational stage which exists in some countries including Ghana, providing education between primary school and secondary school. The concept, regulation and classification of middle schools, as well as the ages covered, vary between and sometimes within countries.
