Facilities
Takpo has faced a serious infrastructure shortage for years. A GBC report describes the school's continued use of old JHS facilities and the lack of purpose-built dormitories.
The Upper West Regional Co-ordinating Council has also reported plans for boys' and girls' dormitory projects, along with efforts to improve electricity and water access.
Student Life
Student life at Takpo includes lessons, sport, cadet activities, clubs and leadership.
Because the school is still developing its permanent infrastructure, students experience a campus that is changing alongside the institution itself.
Accommodation
Takpo is currently listed as a day-and-boarding school.
Boarding arrangements have developed under difficult infrastructure conditions, with older facilities being adapted while purpose-built dormitories are planned.
