History
Six Ghanaian leaders felt the need to construct an educational institution to meet the educational needs of the young people living in the Osu and La areas and surrounding areas in 1949. As a result, a private school was founded in the Ako Adjei area.
At the time of Ghana’s independence, Kwame Nkrumah, the country’s first president, knew that in order to accomplish his vision for the country’s quick development, educational facilities needed to be widely available and brought to the doorsteps of every Ghanaian child.
During the first republic, the Ghana Educational Trust was established, with the mission of constructing school buildings around the country, including in Labone. The school was later moved to its current location (opposite the Labone S.D.A Church).
