Achimota School

Founded in 1927 as the Prince of Wales College, Achimota was built on a single principle — that the education of boys and girls together, drawn from every part of the country, would form the people who ran it. The 1,000-acre campus in north Accra remains one of the largest of any second-cycle institution in West Africa.
