About Us

A school built on attention, discipline and excellence

Standing Out in Academic Excellence. Since 1999, Icon International School has served families in Accra, Ghana, guiding learners from Kindergarten through to the BECE.

Our history

How Icon began

Icon International School opened its doors with one Kindergarten class and a handful of families who wanted a school where their children would be known personally. Word spread through the neighbourhood, and the school grew class by class rather than all at once — a pace that let us keep classes small and standards high.

Today the school runs a full Kindergarten, Primary and Junior High programme on one campus, with a science laboratory, a library and a computing laboratory, and a parent portal that puts report cards and fee statements in parents' hands the day they are ready.
