About international schools in Ghana
International international schools in Ghana are overwhelmingly English-medium and concentrated in Accra (with further options in Tema, Kumasi and other regional centres), and they typically offer a mix of curricula - most commonly Cambridge (IGCSE/A-Level), the International Baccalaureate and American-style programmes alongside schools that map to Ghana’s national pathway. Fees vary widely between neighbourhoods and programme types, with some schools advertising lower annual tuitions in the range reported for affordable options while IB and premium schools charge substantially more; many schools quote fees in US dollars or Ghana cedi and add costs for transport, meals and uniforms. Admissions usually follow an academic year that begins in August/September, although many schools run secondary intakes in January or April and some operate rolling admissions for places that open mid-year. Relocating families should plan for school visits or assessments, check each school’s curriculum accreditation and language support, and allow time for waiting lists and paperwork when moving to Accra or other cities.
