About Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School
Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School has roots that go back to missionary work in girls' education in Krobo Odumase. It began in 1927 as a girls' middle school and later passed through a long teacher-training phase before becoming the secondary school now known as KROGISS.
The motto is "The Best for the Highest." Presbyterian influence remains visible in the school's values, while its long history gives it a particular place in the story of girls' education in the Eastern Region.
Students at KROGISS can choose Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts, with the programme pages showing what each choice covers.

History
Krobo Girls began in March 1927 through the work of female Scottish missionaries. It started as a middle school for girls, at a time when formal education for girls was still developing in many parts of the Gold Coast.
A history of KROGISS traces its unusual path from middle school to women's teacher training and eventually to a girls' secondary school.
The Presbyterian Church remained part of that story. The Church's own account of women's work records the effort to establish Krobo Girls as part of a wider push to educate girls and strengthen women's participation in church and community life.
KROGISS did not begin as the school it is today. Its present identity grew through several stages of girls' education and teacher preparation.
Academics
Krobo Girls prepares students for the WASSCE through Business, Home Economics, Visual Arts, General Arts and General Science.
The range of programmes give students both academic and practical routes. Home Economics and Visual Arts involve substantial hands-on work, while General Science, Business and General Arts place different demands on reading, calculation, laboratory work and analysis.
The Visual Arts guide shows what students study in that option at KROGISS.
Admissions & Entry Guidance
Applications to Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School go through the national placement system after BECE. Check whether the KROGISS programmes (Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts) include the subjects you want.
When placements are released, check your KROGISS result on the CSSPS website and note whether it says day or boarding.
Facilities
KROGISS supports programmes with very different practical needs. Science requires laboratory work, Home Economics needs specialist practical spaces, and Visual Arts depends on areas where students can make, test and present work.
The campus also supports day-and-boarding life, so classrooms are only one part of the student environment. Residential, dining, worship and activity spaces affect the rhythm of the school day.
Student Life
KROGISS has built much of its identity around girls' education, discipline and Presbyterian values. The phrase "Krobo is shining" is commonly associated with the school, while blue and white remain its recognisable colours.
A 95th-anniversary feature shows students and old girls connecting school tradition with digital skills, community service and opportunities beyond the classroom.
Clubs, worship, sport, competitions and service activities give students room to develop interests that are not captured by their programme name.
Accommodation
Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School runs day and boarding arrangements. Day students leave after school activities, while KROGISS boarders continue with meals and evening study on campus.
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana's history of women's work provides useful background on why educating girls in Krobo became part of the Church's wider mission.
Your KROGISS placement will tell you whether you are joining as a boarder or a day student.
