About international schools in Ghana
International schools in Ghana are concentrated in Accra and other regional centres and typically serve expatriate families, returnees and locally mobile Ghanaian households seeking internationally recognised pathways. Commonly available curricula include British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-levels), the International Baccalaureate and American-style programmes alongside the national Ghanaian track, with some schools operating dual or parallel streams. Instruction is generally in English, while many schools also teach French, Spanish, Chinese and Ghanaian languages as additional or co-curricular options. Annual fees vary widely - from lower-thousand to tens of thousands of US dollars depending on school, age and programme - so families should budget for tuition, registration and extras and start admissions conversations well before a move because intake is aligned to individual school calendars and places can be limited.

Curricula
There are 16 international schools in Ghana covering 17 curricula. The most widely offered are Cambridge IGCSE (9), Cambridge A Levels (7), IB (DP) (6), British Curriculum (5), IB (PYP) (4). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Ghana runs from about GHS 800 to GHS 178,000, averaging roughly GHS 49,108. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Ghana run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
10 of the 16 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Ghana we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
