Institution guide

History

SDA Bekwai was established by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1953. For a period, the secondary school existed alongside a teacher-training college on the same educational campus.

The school's current official portal still presents the school through an Adventist framework of learning, student support and residential school life.

The teacher-training college was phased out in 1974, leaving the secondary school to develop independently. The school later passed through the national changes from secondary school to senior secondary and then senior high school.

The Adventist connection is not a footnote to the history. It is the foundation from which the school grew.
