About Kibi Senior High/Tech
Kibi Senior High/Tech was established in 1991 as part of Ghana's secondary-technical expansion under the education reforms that began in the late 1980s.
That origin still matters because the school combines mainstream academic programmes with a Technical programme, giving students a different mix of classroom learning and hands-on skill development.
KIST gives students a choice of Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts; the programme pages set out the subjects in each one.

History
Kibi Senior High/Tech was established in January 1991 as one of the secondary technical schools opened under Ghana's education reform programme.
A school history connects its creation directly to the reforms launched in 1987, when technical education was being integrated more deliberately into second-cycle schooling.
That means the technical side of the school is not an add-on. It is part of why the school was created in the first place.
Academics
Kibi Senior High/Tech's 6 programmes are Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts.
The official register calls the technical programme "Technical"; on SideScholar, it appears as Applied Technology.
The subjects within Applied Technology are set out in the Applied Technology guide; check them before choosing KIST.
Admissions & Entry Guidance
Students apply to Kibi Senior High/Tech through the national placement system after BECE. Look closely at the subjects in Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts before deciding on KIST.
Treat any old KIST cut-off as background only; the next placement cycle may be different.
Use the CSSPS website to see your KIST result and whether the place is for a day student or a boarder.
School placement is managed through CSSPS.
Facilities
A school built around both academic and technical education needs practical spaces as much as ordinary classrooms.
Kibi SHTS's technical electives include areas such as Applied Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Building Construction Technology, Electronics, Metal Work and Woodwork, so workshops, tools and supervised practice are central to the experience.
Student Life
Kibi SHTS brings together students following academic, creative, commercial and technical programmes on the same campus.
That mix can make school life more interesting because students are not all learning in the same way. Some spend more time in laboratories or workshops, while others lean towards art, business or social-science work.
Accommodation
Both day students and boarders attend Kibi Senior High/Tech. At KIST, boarders remain on campus after lessons while day students travel home.
