If your application is successful, each child will be given an entry test before being considered. Competence in the English Language is a pre-requisite and no child gains entry without being able to communicate in basic English and Twi. Each child is also given a ‘readiness for learning’ assessment when being considered for entry into the Class 1 upwards.
