Abuakwa State College

The roots of Abuakwa State College go back to 1936, when three Methodist elders at Asafo-Akyem established a preparatory school for students preparing for the Junior Cambridge examination.

A Graphic Online account of the school's history records that the school was later relocated to Kyebi so it could serve the broader interests of students across Akyem Abuakwa.

Other anniversary histories place the Kyebi foundation stone in 1937 and describe ABUSCO as the first public secondary school established in the Eastern Region.

The distinction is useful: the school traces its origins to Asafo-Akyem in 1936, while the Kyebi school that became Abuakwa State College took shape from the relocation and foundation work that followed.

Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts make up the programme list at Abuakwa State College.

Six programmes give you several directions, but the programme you select will determine your electives, practical work and later admission possibilities.

ABUSCO's facilities have expanded repeatedly as the student population has grown. Government projects have included classroom blocks, campus roads, computers and transport, while alumni groups continue to add their own projects.

The 2001 year group recently launched plans for a multipurpose basketball and volleyball court designed to improve sport and recreation for current students.

Old Abuscodians have a strong identity around the school, and Susubiribi is central to that culture.

The motto has been interpreted in several related ways: think ahead, aim high, choose what is worthy and consider carefully what you do or say. That makes it more useful as a standard for judgement than as a slogan to memorise.

Sport, leadership, mentoring and alumni-supported projects give current students other ways to participate in school life.
