History

Nanton Senior High/Tech became fully operational in 2024, making it one of the newer public second-cycle schools in the Northern Region.

The school serves Nanton and nearby communities with both general academic and technical options.

Its short history means students are joining a school that is still building traditions and expanding its campus rather than inheriting decades of established routines.

Academics

Nanton Senior High/Tech offers Business, Applied Technology, Home Economics and General Arts.

The technical route includes practical subjects such as building construction and woodwork, while the other programmes follow different combinations of academic and practical study.

If Applied Technology interests you, SideScholar's Applied Technology guide can help you understand the kind of practical work behind the programme.

Admissions

Admissions & Entry Guidance

If you are coming from JHS, you choose Nanton Senior High/Tech and your programme through Ghana's national school-selection and placement system.

Your BECE result matters, but so do the programme you choose and how many places are available.

For official placement results and instructions, use the CSSPS portal.

School placement is managed through CSSPS.

Facilities

Nanton is still developing its campus. A Ghana News Agency report records the construction of boreholes to address water shortages affecting the school and surrounding community.

For a technical school, workshops and practical spaces matter alongside ordinary classrooms, so students considering Applied Technology should pay attention to the facilities available for hands-on work.

Student Life

Student life at a newer school can feel different from life at a century-old institution. Traditions are still taking shape, and students have more opportunity to influence the culture that develops around clubs, sport, leadership and boarding life.

Nanton's role in the district also means the school is closely connected to the community around it.

Accommodation

Day & Boarding

Nanton Senior High/Tech has both day and boarding students.

Residential facilities are still developing, so boarding capacity should be understood separately from the fact that the school is classified as day and boarding.

If you get a place, your placement will show whether you are coming in as a boarder or a day student.
