About Beacon International School
Beacon International School is a private, non-profit, co-educational Christian school founded in 2001, nestled in the serene Akuapem Ridge behind the Peduase Presidential Lodge. With its motto 'Forming Minds, Transforming Lives', Beacon offers children between the ages of 2.5 and 18 years a safe, family-oriented environment where academic ambition and godly character are developed side by side. The school combines an Enhanced Curriculum in the Preschool and Primary years with the Cambridge International Curriculum at the Secondary level, also offering the Ghana Education Service BECE for students who choose the local pathway at the end of Year 6. Beacon is a registered Cambridge International School, preparing students for the Cambridge Checkpoint (Year 9) and Cambridge IGCSE (Year 11). The school's facilities include well-equipped Science laboratories (Chemistry, Biology, Physics), a modern ICT lab with audio-visual aids, a well-stocked library for all ages, and high-speed supervised internet. Boarding is available for Secondary students (aged 12 and above), offering a nurturing 'home away from home' with evening academic preparation. Transportation and catering services are also provided. Beacon is distinctive for its intentional character formation programme, including annual Bible Camp, Family Fun Day, International Day, and regular field trips that bring learning to life.
Our Philosophy
Beacon's Christian foundations underpin every aspect of school life. The school believes that Ghanaians and children of all nationalities thrive in a warm family atmosphere with a strong sense of identity and belonging. Their approach to learning is exciting, interactive, and analytical — drawing on both Ghanaian and English curricula. Class placement is based on age, not academic ability, ensuring inclusive growth. Every child receives individualised attention, and the school collaborates with educational and medical professionals to support students with additional needs. Annual events such as Bible Camp, Family Fun Day, International Day, and Career's Day reinforce a holistic education beyond the classroom.
