About Abetifi Presby Senior High

History

APSEC was established in 1956 as the first second-cycle school on the Kwahu Ridge. It began as a private co-educational school before entering into partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in 1963.

A school profile drawing on Ghana Education Service information records that the government took over the school in 1965.

That sequence matters because the school did not begin as a finished public school. It moved through private, mission-supported and public phases as secondary education expanded in the area.

If you join APSEC today, you are entering a school whose story is closely tied to the growth of education across the Kwahu Ridge.
