History
Adventist Senior High School, Kumasi was established in 1983. Its identity comes from the Seventh-day Adventist tradition of combining academic education with moral, physical and practical development.
A current school profile records the 1983 establishment date and the motto "Truth, Dedication, Service."
That philosophy helps explain why the school talks about the dignity of labour and education of the whole person rather than treating examination results as the whole purpose of school.
The aim is to educate the whole person, not only prepare a candidate for WASSCE.
