About international schools in Ghana

British-curriculum international schools in Ghana typically deliver programmes based on the English National Curriculum and internationally recognised UK examination routes such as Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels or Pearson qualifications, often starting with a British-style Early Years/Foundation stage. Lessons are taught in English; most schools also teach French and may offer Ghanaian languages or lessons that reflect national language policy, but the classroom language is usually English. Fees vary widely by school and level - expect anything from low-four-thousands of US dollars a year at more modest international or bilingual schools up to mid-five-figure annual tuition at premium day schools, with boarding and extras adding further cost - and invoices are commonly issued termly in Ghana cedis at the prevailing exchange rate. Admissions mostly follow a northern-hemisphere calendar with a main intake in August/September, schools commonly require prior records and an assessment, and families should budget additionally for registration charges, uniforms, transport and external exam fees when relocating.

FAQs for Ghana

What does ‘British curriculum’ mean in Ghanaian international schools?
In this context it usually means teaching that follows the English National Curriculum content and structure, with students taking UK-style external exams such as Cambridge IGCSEs at about age 16 and A-Levels (or equivalent UK qualifications) at 16 - 18. Some schools combine National Curriculum frameworks with Cambridge or Pearson exam syllabuses; check each school’s published curriculum pathways to see which qualifications they lead to.
Which languages are used and taught in these schools?
English is the primary medium of instruction across British-curriculum international schools in Ghana. Many schools teach French as a second language and may offer lessons in Ghanaian languages or cultural studies to reflect national requirements, but parents should confirm the extent of mother-tongue provision if that is important to them.
How much do British-curriculum international schools in Ghana cost?
Tuition varies substantially by neighbourhood, facilities and the age of the child: day-school fees can range from roughly a few thousand US dollars a year at more affordable international or bilingual schools to the mid-five-figure range at premium day schools, while boarding options and specialist services add further cost. In addition to published tuition parents commonly pay one-off registration or enrollment fees, termly charges, transport, uniforms and external exam fees, and many schools invoice in Ghana cedis at the prevailing exchange rate.
When should I apply if we are relocating to Ghana?
Most British-curriculum schools in Ghana run a main intake at the start of the academic year in August/September, so families should begin enquiries and submit applications several months in advance - typically three to six months or more for popular early-years and primary places. Schools use entrance assessments, interviews and references, and some maintain waiting lists, so early contact and provision of school reports will improve your chances of securing a place.
What ages and exam milestones should I expect in a British system in Ghana?
Early Years/Foundation classes normally cover ages 3 - 5, primary through Key Stages 1 - 2 covers about ages 5 - 11, and secondary covers Key Stages 3 - 5 with IGCSEs or equivalent at around 14 - 16 and A-Level style qualifications or IB/other pathways at 16 - 18. Ask each school for its year naming conventions, sample timetables and exam destination data if you need detail for university or curriculum planning.
What practical things should relocating families check when comparing schools?
Look for clear information on the exact curriculum and exam boards offered, inspection or accreditation status, safeguarding and pastoral care policies, class sizes, staff qualifications and how the school supports transition for new international pupils. Also check the full cost picture (termly billing, registration and exam fees), transport routes, school calendar and whether the school issues the residency or school reports you will need for visas and onward university applications.
