Ghana
In April 2009 Stewards School formed a link with the Kanda International School in Ghana, West Africa. We hope this link will last for many years and will provide our pupils with the chance to learn what life is like in Ghana and Africa.
Our link school is found in the capital city of Accra, a city of 2 million people. The school is located in an area of Accra called the Kanda Estates and the school teaches 300 pupils from 6 to 18 years of age. The Headteacher is Mr Anim and the school is very proud of the way it uses ICT to help pupils learn. Kanda International School is very eager that it's pupils develop a strong knowledge and understanding of life in the UK.

Ghana has a population of 23 million people and has a very ethnically diverse and rich culture. Ghana is a multicultural society, like the UK. The largest ethnic groups are Akan (49% of the total population), Mole-Dagbon (15% of the population) and Ewe (11% of the total population). There are over 250 languages and local dialects spoken in Ghana! Ghana has a very rich history going back hundreds of years and we should look forward to learning much more about this unique African country!
