Foundation pathway

Primary years with an international benchmark

iPrimary 1 to iPrimary 6: Pearson Edexcel's international primary programme, taught in small, thematically named classes.

iPrimary is the heart of the Foundation pathway: six years of internationally benchmarked literacy, numeracy, and inquiry using Pearson Edexcel's iPrimary programme, the coursebooks on the desks are the real thing.

After iPrimary 6, families choose a direction: the international pathway (iLowerSecondary, then IGCSE and A-Level) or the Ghanaian pathway (JHS, then SHS). Both continue on the same campus, so the choice never means changing schools.

Three of the four Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards held by Crystal Heights learners were won in these years. Dayshaun Ayindor Amoah took the highest mark in the world in Pearson Edexcel iPrimary Mathematics in the Oct/Nov 2022 series, and the highest mark in Ghana in iPrimary Science. Widad Abdallah Adam took the highest mark in the world in iPrimary Mathematics again in May/June 2023.

Why families choose iPrimary.

Benchmarked against the world

Two Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards for the highest mark in the world in iPrimary Mathematics, Oct/Nov 2022 and May/June 2023.

The choice stays open

Nothing is decided before iPrimary 6. Both pathways remain available to every child.

Discipline, gently built

The daily habits that carry our students to world-level results start here.

The rhythm is the same across the school.

The school day

8:00am to 2:45pm, the internal timetable varies by division.

Three terms

The academic year runs September to July, in three terms.

Small, named classes

Classes split into sections: Mercury, Diamond, Gold, Platinum. When a section fills, we open a new one rather than crowd it.

Four houses

Entsie, Dadzie, Mensah and Margaret. Every student joins one and competes on academic and conduct points, and merit is tracked as seriously as anything else.

Where it leads

After iPrimary 6, families choose a direction: iLowerSecondary on the international pathway, or JHS on the Ghanaian pathway. The same campus either way.

Boarding, on campus

Boarders live on campus with full pastoral care, at every level of the school. Boarding includes feeding, so families make one decision and everything is covered.
