About Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School
Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School opened in Kumawu in 1959. The school carries the name of Nana Tweneboa Kodua, remembered in Asante history for the sacrifice associated with the founding of the Asante union.
That history explains the motto "Knowledge and Sacrifice." Students and old students are widely known as Akyerema, while the school itself is often shortened to TK.
The options at TKSHS are Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts; compare their subjects on the programme pages.

History
Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School was established in Kumawu in 1959 during the rapid expansion of secondary education after Ghana's independence.
A school profile based on Ghana Education Service information records the 1959 establishment and the school's development as a mixed day-and-boarding school.
The name carries a deeper local meaning. Nana Tweneboa Kodua is remembered in Asante history for sacrifice, and that idea sits directly behind the school motto.
"Knowledge and Sacrifice" works because it connects education with the history of the person whose name the school carries.

Students at Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School can choose Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts.

Facilities
TK's campus includes science facilities, an ICT laboratory, Visual Arts space, dormitories, dining facilities and an assembly hall.
Old students have helped improve some of those resources. A Ghana Districts report documents the renovation and furnishing of the ICT laboratory by the 1987 year group, together with additional support for the school.
Student Life
Akyerema identity gives Tweneboa Kodua students a strong connection to Kumawu and to generations of people who studied at the school before them.
Student life also reaches into agriculture and community learning. In 2026, Tweneboa Kodua was one of the schools included in a COCOBOD cocoa-growing project designed to give young people direct exposure to cocoa cultivation.
Sport, clubs, leadership and alumni activities provide other ways for students to take part beyond formal lessons.
