About Attafuah Senior High/Tech
Attafuah Senior High/Tech in Akim Oda carries a history that reaches further back than its current second-cycle status. The school developed from an older government school tradition before becoming a full secondary technical school.
That background gives Attafuah a useful blend of continuity and reinvention. It is a school with roots in basic education that later expanded into academic and technical programmes for older students.
The programme choices at ASHTS are Agricultural Science, Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts; see the programme pages for the subjects behind each name.

History
Attafuah Senior High/Tech became a full secondary technical school in 1991, but its history reaches back to an earlier government school established in Akim Oda during the colonial period.
A current school profile describes the modern school as an offshoot of that older school tradition.
That makes Attafuah unusual. The present school is relatively younger than some SHSs, yet it sits on an educational lineage that has served the town for much longer.
Academics
The academic options at Attafuah Senior High/Tech cover Agricultural Science, Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts.
Seven options give you a wide choice, especially if you are deciding between a conventional programme choice and something more practical.

Facilities
Attafuah has classrooms, a science laboratory, a library and computer laboratories, alongside the practical needs created by its technical programmes.
For students, the important question is how those spaces support the programme they actually study. Technical subjects need workshop-style practice, science needs laboratory work, and Visual Arts needs room to produce and assess practical work.
Student Life
Attafuah's location in Akim Oda places students in a busy municipal setting rather than on an isolated campus. Day students move between school and home, while boarders experience more of the school's evening routines.
The mix of academic, creative and technical programmes also means students arrive with different interests and strengths.
Accommodation
Students at Attafuah Senior High/Tech may attend as day students or boarders. Those boarding at ASHTS stay on campus during the term.
