Build a school from scratch
The Academy is a new, selective, co-educational IB boarding school for Grades 6 to 12 (ages 11 to 18), opening September 2028 on the Akuapem Ridge, about 80 minutes from Accra. Every place is earned on merit. Fee-paying and scholarship students learn, live and compete together as equals.
It’s an elite international education grounded in Ghanaian values, with a Christian ethos that welcomes students of every faith. The school was founded by a family foundation in memory of the founder’s mother, a local teacher turned international trader.
As Founding Head, you’ll arrive a year before the first students and set the culture, team and standards from day one.
What you’ll do
Before opening (from July 2027)
- Define the school’s culture around six values: Excellence, Enterprise, Curiosity, Creativity, Leadership and Compassion
- Lead the school through IB candidacy and authorisation for the MYP (2028) and DP (2029)
- Write the teaching and learning framework and complete the school’s policy set, including safeguarding
- Recruit the senior team and founding IB teachers, and design a pathway to train Ghanaian graduates into qualified IB teachers
- Set admissions policy for entry at Grades 6 and 9, and be the public face of the school to families in Ghana, West Africa and the diaspora
- Hold sign-off on educational input to the campus design (labs, workshops, arts spaces, boarding houses)
