About Afua Kobi Ampem Girls' Senior High School

History
Afua Kobi Ampem Girls began as Atwimaman Secondary School, a mixed school. A National Schools Inspectorate Authority report records the school's establishment in 1972 and the later change into Afua Kobi Ampem Girls' Senior High School.
The transition to an all-girls school gave the school a very different purpose. Instead of serving a mixed student body, it developed around the academic, personal and leadership development of girls.
That change is important when you read the school's history. Afua Kobi Ampem Girls grew into its present identity rather than beginning with exactly the same form it has today.
Academics
The current school register lists seven options: Agricultural Science, Business, Home Economics, Visual Arts, General Arts, General Science and STEM.
The STEM programme is especially worth noticing because it adds Computing, Robotics and Aviation and Aerospace Engineering to the school's academic mix.
The STEM guide shows what students study in that option at Afua Kobi Ampem Girls.

Afua Kobi Ampem Girls has day and boarding students, but your placement will say which applies to you. Read it on the CSSPS website.
Facilities
A school offering both established SHS programmes and newer STEM work needs resources that support different kinds of learning. Science, Home Economics, Visual Arts, Computing and engineering activities do not all use the same spaces or equipment.
That difference becomes clearer when you look at what students are actually building. In 2026, the school's Engineering Club developed a 19.5-kilogram multipurpose drone as part of practical STEM training.
Student Life
Afua Kobi Ampem Girls has built a strong identity around girls' education, confidence and the idea of students seeing themselves as Royals.
Students also get opportunities to see where their subjects can lead. In 2026, a group visited the KNUST School of Medical Sciences for direct exposure to medical education, research and health-science careers.
Clubs, sport, leadership, STEM activities and house life create different ways for students to participate beyond normal lessons.
Accommodation
