About Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School

Institution overview and key context for prospective students.

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.

Institution guide

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.
