Acting Head of School

We congratulate all year 4 and 5 parents who participated in our recent Diploma Programme (DP) orientation session. The orientation provided valuable insights into the programme structure, expectations, and the support systems in place to ensure the success of our students. It created an opportunity to share concerns, and most importantly to demonstrate our commitment to supporting our students as they embark on this challenging yet rewarding academic journey. Your involvement in the DP orientation sets a positive tone for the entire DP experience.

The Voice of an Eagle 4.0 this year focused mostly on elocution, composure, elegance, and confidence in speech delivery under the theme, Molding tomorrow's leaders through rhetoric. A large number of students answered the call to become proficient in public speaking this year. Following several training sessions, mentorship programs, and lectures by well-known individuals whose words have altered the path of history, three students out of ten stood out to demonstrate creative and critical thinking skills. Richard Achampong, MYP Year 2, emerged as the winner of The Voice of an Eagle, closely followed by Ama Ampaw, MYP Year 4, and Herbert Amos, MYP Year 4.

This edition highlights the exciting outcome of our MYP year 3 students' cultural exploration. As part of their summative assessment, they organized a vibrant Cultural Exchange Symposium, showcasing their understanding of diverse cultures from around the world. This event was a celebration of their learning journey, where students shared their research, traditions, and perspectives through engaging presentations, performances, and displays. We are proud of their hard work and enthusiasm.

Meet Ewurakua Afriyie Asare- Danquah, an MYP Year 1 student in Barack Obama and an avid writer. Inspired by her mother, who is also an author, her love for reading and unwavering interest in English Language and literature, coupled with her excellent writing skills in her favorite subject (ELL), she began her journey into writing at the tender age of nine, starting with poems and expanding this skill into prose fiction.

Ewurakua is also an active member of the CIA book club where she leads most of the club activities. She is looking forward to extending her passion in the CIA writers and debaters club. Her latest accomplishment is the thought-provoking novel, "No. 10 Purple Street," which delves into themes of friendship, family ties, and good neighborliness, catering specifically to teenagers just like her.

This inspiring piece is now available on various platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Everand, Booktopia, Walmart, Mighty Ape, and more.

Students in grade four recently participated in an amazing project where they meticulously modelled scenes from "Charlotte's Web," "Tops and Bottoms," and "The Hundred Dresses," bringing their favorite novels to life. With regard to the unit of inquiry, students utilized these models to show that they understood set design and could construct a set for any play or tale to help the actors perform their parts to perfection.

"World Class Wednesday" serves as a platform for nurturing a positive and respectful school environment, where students can thrive not only academically but also in their personal development.

Every Wednesday, fourth-grade students gather to learn about oral hygiene, table manners, and proper greeting etiquette. This initiative aims to instill important life skills and values in the students, promoting a culture of respect and consideration for others.

In alignment with the fourth-grade Unit 5 curriculum on economic activities, Mr. Tsuwa Thompson, a business consultant and entrepreneurship expert, was invited to guide students in creating a business plan. During the session, students had interactive discussion with a real world practitioner and explored building blocks for a business plan. They gained deeper understanding which will inspire them in their future entrepreneurial opportunities.

Fourth-grade students showcased their entrepreneurial skills with a business pitch to potential investors which included members of the management, grade heads, and facilitators. They presented their business proposals and ideas, providing them with a real-life learning experience.

As part of the PYP Exhibition Journey, a guest speaker from Ghana Water Aids was invited to give a talk about the Importance of Clean Water.

The speaker's insights and knowledge enlightened the students, providing them with new information and ideas to incorporate in their upcoming exhibition.

Lt. Colonel Fred Nketia from Ghana armed forces was invited to share insights into the vital role played by the military in fostering peace worldwide. The session proved to be enlightening, offering students an invaluable opportunity to broaden their understanding and gather fresh perspectives to enrich their ongoing exhibition projects. Moreover, the discourse resonated with all attendees, underscoring the paramount importance of prioritizing peace in every context and scenario.

On April 22, students in Third Grade came up with an amazing assembly to commemorate the WORLD EARTH DAY. Under the theme: Planet Vs. Plastics, they raised an indelible awareness of the importance of protecting our environment and the world at large from plastics and other waste materials.

This unit has guided students to engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and discussions that have allowed them to develop a deeper understanding for water.

We are thrilled to celebrate the successful completion of our unit on the Solar System! Throughout this unit, our young learners have explored the fascinating world of the types, creatures and the importance of the solar system.

To conclude the unit, fourth-grade students organized a business fair as their celebration for the 'Economic Activities' unit. This fair provided them with the chance to implement their business plans and present their ventures to potential investors.
