EDUCATION

Our aim is to provide the foundation and springboard from which the Kopeyia School community will make great things happen on its own.

The Ghana Education Service supervises the standard Ghanaian national school curriculum, which includes valuable courses in Math, Science, Agricultural Science, Life Skills, and Vocational Skills, etc.  KGSF has instituted much higher standards for excellent attendance for both teachers and students, and for lower class sizes.  The school is well maintained and freshly painted, providing an atmosphere conducive to learning.
KGSF has collaborated effectively with this vibrant and growing school community in Kopeyia through the work of our Emissary Volunteers.  These volunteers lead discussions about how students can use what they learn to bring positive developments to life in the village.

The Girls Club was established by KGSF volunteer Carolyne Ali Khan in 1994.  "The Girls Club Educates" is their motto.  The girls (more than 50) meet after school once a week to study health and nutrition issues. Club members present these important lessons to every class in the school, and create posters as reminders. This program has been an effective way to share vital health information school wide, and has given the girls a greater appreciation for the value of their education.

The Ann M. Martin library is the centerpiece of the school!  It is loaded with reference materials, and books on all reading levels.  It is well-used by our students, and visited by readers from the entire district.
