• Akoma Education

    Akoma International Academy was founded in 2004 by the late Queen Mother Nana Ama Manana II also known as E. Malkia Brantuo.

    Queen Mother Malkia saw a need for rural children to have the same opportunity for a quality education as their urban counterparts. As a result of her vision she built the academy from the ground up using her personal funds.  The school’s certification is Kindergarten to third level of Junior High School (JHS3). Our first year served K – 5. We added the next grade level each year and in 2010 when had our first batch of student to take the national exam for entrance into High School.

    Queen Mother Malkia build the school in a rural community in Ghana’s Central Region to give those children equal access to holistic global instruction as their urban counterparts. 

    Our admissions policy is open to all students of Ghana which reflects our commitment to a diverse student body. Our philosophy is that all children are entitled to quality education regardless of social and economic status or tribal connection. All students of Akoma are entitled to all privileges, programs and activities at the Academy.
