A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Ghana
Locations
Ghana’s historical sites and museums can teach high school students valuable lessons related to the transatlantic slave trade, one of the darkest times in global history. Opportunities to learn outside of the classroom are endless in Ghana. No matter where you choose to travel to, high school programs in Ghana will get you up close and personal with a plethora of wildlife, give you the chance to explore a variety of natural sceneries, from beaches to parks, mountains, and lakes, or allow you to enjoy the music and culture of your new home. Ghana is a wonderful destination for high school students who are interested in visiting Africa, with the possibility of encountering exotic wildlife, shopping in the busy markets lining the streets, or dancing to the beat of an African drum.
Accra. Situated on the west coast of Africa, Ghana’s capital city of Accra lies on the Atlantic Ocean and boasts some of the best beachfronts on the continent. The city is certainly not short of sites or activities to keep students busy during their free time either; as the largest city in the country, Accra has enough character to keep any teenager engaged, from the National Museum, with its large collection of Ghana’s historical artifacts, and the National Theatre (worth seeing for its unique architecture alone). If you look around, you will easily be able to experience the extensive culture and history of Ghana.
Kumasi. The former capital of the Ashanti kingdom, Kumasi is located in the central part of Ghana and well known for its large open air markets. The markets are popular for artisans selling handmade crafts and world-renowned gold jewelry. Walking around these markets can be quite an experience for students interested in art (or perfecting haggling skills!). Known for its beautiful natural attractions, Kumasi is a great place to learn about Ghana’s wildlife and forest reserves.
Tamale. Located on ancient trade routes in the center of the country, Tamale forges a bridge between old and new. It is the fastest growing city in West Africa and known as “The City of Many Colors”; due to a growth in tourism, the city is filled with foreigners all over the world. With over 740 schools in the city (including at least 10 senior high schools), Tamale is known as the primary education center of Ghana. It has become a hub for high school programs in Ghana, and many financial institutions and international non-governmental organizations are located in Tamale too.
No matter where high school in Ghana takes you, you will have a chance to call your friends and family back home to tell them about your adventures; thanks to Ghana’s relatively reliable telephone and communication system.
