Who we are
An internationally proven school, rooted in Ghana
Founded in 2014, Crystal Heights International School is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school in Accra: preparing students for meaningful lives, responsible citizenship, and future careers.
Our story
A decade of academic excellence and character
Crystal Heights was founded to give Ghanaian families a school that combines international academic rigor with strong values and genuine care for every child.
We lead with discipline: the self-mastery, consistency, and high standards that turn potential into excellence: and build on it with creativity, integrity, curiosity, confidence, compassion, and lifelong learning. Our students are prepared not only for examinations but for meaningful lives and responsible citizenship in an increasingly technological world.
With two active curriculum tracks, Pearson Edexcel for a globally recognized international identity and the Ghana Education Service national track. We offer rare breadth across seven educational stages, from Pre-School to International A-Level.

Discipline & character
Discipline is how we get there
Excellence is not an accident. It is the product of disciplined habits, consistent effort, and high standards held every day: in the classroom, on the pitch, and in the corridor.
At Crystal Heights, discipline is more than a rulebook. It is an ethos: the self-mastery that lets a student choose purpose over distraction, the consistency that compounds small efforts into outstanding outcomes, and the high standards that turn potential into proven achievement. It is the thread running through four Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards, proof that disciplined effort shows.
