Everything about Aburi Girls Senior High School and how you can get admission into the institution will be touched on in this post. Popularly known as ABUGISS, it is situated south of Aburi in Ghana’s Eastern Region.

History Of Aburi Girls’ Senior High School

With just seven students, Aburi Girls Senior High School was formally founded in 1946 as a secondary school for girls.

Nevertheless, the Basel Missionaries founded a preparatory school for girls at their mission station inside the town in 1852, which is the point at which the school’s history really begins. The primary school stayed open until the Scottish Mission took custody of it during World War I. Along with a kindergarten class and a middle school for girls, teacher-training programs were started in the 1920s. Secondary classes were then offered in 1946, alongside the teacher-training program.

When the Basel Mission and the Scottish Mission, the school’s missions, left in 1950, the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast (now Ghana) inferred management of the institution. In 1954, the secondary school was relocated to its recent location on the outskirts of Aburi after being divided from the teacher training classes. Up until 1958, Form 1 through to Form 5 classes were delivered. Then, a Sixth Form was introduced. The ongoing senior high school framework is a three-year program.

The Methodist Training College, on the school’s southern edge, closed in 1972, therefore Joyce Asibey, the country’s first Ghanaian headmistress, started negotiations with the Methodist Church to buy the college’s property for the school.

Form one students were sheltered in the campus since it had a dining hall, dorms, and classrooms. This was done to decrease bullying incidents. This arrangement was suspended because of the increase in people in the 1990s, and the old “Metico” building, together with the entire compound, is now a real house known as Irene Anderson House.
