The standard

GES Plus, delivered with real rigour

We teach the Ghanaian national curriculum, the same one your child would meet in any GES school, but with the structure, pace and care of a top international school. We call it GES Plus.

Learning is standards-based. Teachers plan to clear NaCCA outcomes, assess against a five-level proficiency scale, and report progress in plain language a parent can act on.

  • NaCCA-aligned lesson planning and assessment
  • Continuous class assessment alongside end-of-term exams
  • A strong reading and numeracy foundation in the early years
In the classroom

From first steps to the BECE

    • Phonics every morning, from sounds to first words
    • Number, shape and pattern through hands-on play
    • Small groups with a familiar teacher and assistant
    • Care routines shared with parents each day
