Brain Hill International School, one of Accra’s steadily growing private institutions, has inaugurated a new annex at Weija Gbawe, along the western corridor of the Greater Accra Region.
This expansion brings the school’s total campus count to three, complementing its existing branches in East Legon.
The opening ceremony, held on Sunday, August 10, 2025, was described as a major step forward in the school’s mission to broaden access to quality Cambridge-based education in Ghana.
The decision to establish the new campus was announced only weeks earlier at the school’s annual graduation, where Principal Mr. Awel Rahamani shared the vision with parents and guests.
Held under the theme “Chasing Dreams, Building Legacies,” the launch attracted several dignitaries, including the MP for Weija-Gbawe, Jerry Ahmed Shaib; MCE for Gbawe, Felix Odartey Lamptey; Gbawe District Education Director, Charles Odum; and the Chief of Kwahu Obomeng, Nana Effah Opinamang III.
In her remarks, Mrs. Mary Awuku, Director of Brain Hill International School, explained the motivation behind the expansion. She emphasized the institution’s mission of raising well-rounded students equipped to excel beyond the classroom.
“Our children will not only receive education; they will be challenged to explore, innovate, and make a mark on the world,” she said, expressing gratitude to parents, staff, and the community for their support.
“Education should not be a privilege of location. We believe every child deserves access to quality learning, no matter which part of the city they live in.”
Mr. Shaib commended the school for its commitment to the community, noting that private efforts complement national educational goals.
“Private institutions like Brain Hill are vital partners in national development. Together with government efforts, they help create a future where quality education is affordable and accessible to all,” he said.
Nana Effah Opinamang III, Chief of Kwahu Obomeng, warmly welcomed Brain Hill into the Gbawe community. He praised the school’s growth over the past seven years—from preschool to primary and now secondary—and commended Mrs. Awuku as “a woman of vision and action whose creativity and commitment to people inspired me to collaborate with her in taking the Gbawe community to greater heights.”
He expressed optimism that, through collective effort, the school would witness remarkable growth in both enrolment and use of its facilities.
Principal Mr. Awel Rahamani encouraged parents to take an active role in shaping their children’s future. “A good school can shape a child’s future, but it works best when parents are fully engaged at home. We must all play our part in laying a strong foundation,” he urged.
Located at Weija Gbawe Top Base, the new campus is expected to serve families across the municipality and beyond. The school reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high academic standards, promoting discipline, and ensuring that tuition remains accessible.
As its motto declares: “Brain Hill International School – Developing Bright Minds.”
