The Accra Academy was the first private academy to be established in the Gold Coast, present-day Ghana.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Economic and Social Developments in Colonial Ghana ).〕 The academy is one of the foremost secondary educational institutions in Ghana and operates as a non-denominational day and boarding boys' school, located at Bubuashie in the Greater Accra Region. The academy runs courses in Business, Science, General Arts, General Agric and Visual Arts leading to the award of a West African Senior High School Certificate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Journey to the West ).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=From King George VI to President Kufour ).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Students and Students from Ghana's Top High Schools ).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Economic Consequences of "Brain Drain" of the Best and Brightest )〕〔.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Independent Schools )〕 The founders of the Accra Academy provided tuition to students who wanted a secondary-grade education but who did not have financial support to enable them do so.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Accra Academy school history ).〕 Dr. Kofi Konuah periodically travelled to some of the major towns in each region of the country to organise entrance examinations for students, so as to offer the brilliant but needy among them the opportunity of education in the Accra Academy. The academy does not offer special admission to brilliant but needy students but, as per a 2005 directive from the Ghana Education Service, admits its students through a school selection placement system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Computerized School Selection Placement System )〕 The academy admits both local and foreign students. Qualified students living with disability are also admitted. The Accra Academy was established as a private secondary educational institution in 1931 and gained the status of a Government-Assisted School in 1950. In 1981, the academy gained the status of a completely developed Senior Secondary School. In 1990, the academy became a semi-autonomous secondary educational institution and operates as such with the aid of a Board of governors, a Parent-Teacher Association and a Student Representative Council.〔 ==History== The academy was founded by Dr. Kofi George Konuah, Mr. Samuel Neils Awuletey, Mr. Gottfried Narku Alema and Mr. James Akwei Halm-Addo on July 20, 1931, at Mantse Agbonaa a suburb of James Town in Accra.〔 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Education: What We Need Is A Realistic Policy ).〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Accra Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
