Academics

The school currently offers four of five programs that the new system addresses: Agricultural Science, Business, Vocational (Home Economics and Visual Arts), and General (Arts and Science). The only programme that the school does not offer is Technical Programme. In 2001, Out of the total number of 500 candidates the school presented for the West African Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), 498 passed in five or more subjects out of 499 students who took the examination. The highest-performing student scored 7 A1s and a B2 while three others obtained 7 A1s and a B3.[1]
