About Nkwatia Presby Senior High
Nkwatia Presby Senior High/Commercial began in 1965 as a training college before becoming part of the Presbyterian family of schools and colleges in the 1970s.
The school's name still carries the "Commercial" identity, but its academic offer is broader than business alone.
The programme choices at NKWASCO are Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science and Home Economics; see the programme pages for the subjects behind each name.

History
Nkwatia Presby Senior High/Commercial started in 1965 as a training college.
Public school histories record that the school was admitted into the fold of Presbyterian Schools and Colleges in 1974 and later developed into the senior high school students know today.
The name can be slightly misleading if you are seeing it for the first time. "Commercial" is part of the school's identity, but the school now teaches programmes well beyond Business.
Academics
Programme choices at Nkwatia Presby Senior High/Com include Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science and Home Economics.
Visual Arts is not currently offered, so students interested in that programme should compare other schools rather than rely on assumptions.
If Business interests you, the Business guide will help you check whether it fits your plans at NKWASCO.

Facilities
NKWASCO's range of programmes requires a balance of ordinary classrooms and practical learning spaces for science, agriculture and Home Economics.
When comparing the school with another option, pay attention to the subjects you will actually study and the spaces needed to teach them well.
Student Life
The Presbyterian identity of NKWASCO places discipline, moral development and service alongside academic work.
Students also encounter the ordinary mix of sport, clubs, leadership and school activities that can make SHS more than a sequence of lessons.
