History
Kwahu Ridge Senior High was established in 1971 at Obo-Kwahu with both day and boarding arrangements.
School profiles describe the school as a senior high/technical school serving Kwahu South, which explains why its programme structure includes a technical route alongside the more familiar academic programmes.
The technical identity matters because it gives students another way to learn. Some students understand ideas best when they can build, measure, test and work with materials rather than only study theory.
Academics
Programme choices at Kwahu Ridge Senior High include Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts.
On SideScholar, the school's Technical route is linked to Applied Technology so you can explore it consistently with the Secondary programme catalogue.
The subjects within Applied Technology are set out in the Applied Technology guide; check them before choosing KRISCO.
Admissions & Entry Guidance
Entry to Kwahu Ridge Senior High starts with the choices you make after BECE. Check the subjects in Applied Technology, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts before putting KRISCO on your list.
If you specifically want the Technical route, confirm that your placement is for that programme rather than assuming that admission to the school automatically places you there.
Old cut-off figures for KRISCO can give you some context, but they are not a guarantee of what will happen when you apply.

Facilities
