One pathway, from twelve months old to the end of primary

Three sections on one campus, following the Ghana Education Service curriculum end to end. A child can join us in Creche and stay right through primary, without ever changing school.

Where your child would start

Each section has its own head, its own shape of day, and its own promise to parents. Follow the links for the full picture — class by class, subject by subject.

Preschool

Creche · Nursery · KG1–KG2

Our preschool follows the GES curriculum, but we take it a step further.

Our promise. Children who join us in Crèche usually arrive in Grade 1 as confident readers who are able to form simple sentences, count confidently into the hundreds, and demonstrate a developing understanding of the world in which they live.

  • Reads simple decodable books unaided
  • Writes their own name and short sentences
  • Counts, orders and adds numbers to 20
  • Separates from a parent calmly and settles quickly

Ages 6–8

Lower Primary

Basic 1 · Basic 2 · Basic 3

Basic 1 to Basic 3 is where reading becomes fluent and number work becomes automatic. We treat these three years as the most important in the school. Classes are kept deliberately small, so a teacher knows how every child in the room is getting on and can act on it within the term.

Our promise. No child leaves Basic 3 unable to read. That is the commitment, and it is the reason we run daily guided reading in groups of six rather than whole-class reading aloud.

  • Reads age-appropriate books fluently and for pleasure
  • Writes a structured paragraph with correct punctuation
  • Knows multiplication tables to 10 by recall
  • Carries out a simple science investigation and records it

Upper Primary

Basic 4 · Basic 5 · Basic 6

Basic 4 to Basic 6 is the last stretch of primary, and the one that decides how ready a child is for what comes next. Pupils move to subject teachers, keep their own timetable, and take responsibility for homework diaries and deadlines. The academic demand steps up, and so does the amount of independence we expect.

Our promise. A pupil who finishes Basic 6 here can plan their own week, write an argued piece of prose, work through a multi-step problem without being walked through it, and stand in front of the school to present.

  • Plans and meets deadlines from a homework diary
  • Writes an argued essay with an introduction and conclusion
  • Solves multi-step problems involving fractions, ratio and percentage
  • Designs and records a fair test in the laboratory
Everything about Upper Primary

Four things that hold across all four sections

A Creche room and a Basic 6 laboratory look nothing alike, but the same four commitments apply in both.

  • The GES curriculum, in full

    The GES Standards-Based Curriculum from Kindergarten through Basic 6 — including the practical work and project work the syllabus asks for, not just the written content.

  • Reading first

    Literacy is the timetable's first priority in every section. Guided reading in groups of six, daily, from Basic 1 — and free catch-up for any child who falls behind.

  • Learning by doing

    Lessons are activity-focused and child-centred. Children learn by doing, exploring, creating, questioning and discovering — practical projects and demonstrations rather than copying from a board.

  • Assessment that tells the truth

    We follow the GES curriculum's own assessment. If a child is falling behind, you hear it from us rather than from a report card at the end of term.
