Our History
FAITH Timeline
By the extravagant mercies of our Maker, Faith Montessori School was established by Mr. and Mrs. Oswald Amoo-Gottfried in April, 1988. The school first started off as a nursery at their Independence Avenue residence at Ridge, Accra. Within just four years of its inception, the school proved to be so huge a success that it experienced massive growth in pupils’ intake, staff recruitment and facility expansion.
Faith Montessori School was thus forced to relocate to the heart of the city — Kanda where a Primary division was added. In latter years, the booming population of mainland Accra coupled with the soaring academic success of the school necessitated yet another movement; this time to the expansive and serene environment of Gbawe, which has served as its present home since January 1995.
Secondary programmes for the Junior High School (then Junior Secondary School) and International College (University of Cambridge I.G.C.S.E) commenced in September 1997 and in September 2002 the Cambridge A-Level Certificate programme was initiated.
With a controlled student population of 500 students, the school proudly ensures that every student who gets admitted into the FAITH Family considers himself/herself extremely fortunate. Our Student–Teacher ratio of 13:1 guarantees that students get the maximum attention and support needed at all times.
The rigorous and challenging FAITH curricula are especially tailored to embrace the diverse and multicultural backgrounds of our students. The school pays particular attention to the special needs of students and provides the necessary support and incentives for academic success as well as personal development. Indeed, students would find studying at Faith very stimulating, competitive and rewarding.

WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE
AT FAITH ...
“We’re greater than the sum of our parts” is the catch-phrase we live by. This is a proven truth as exemplified by our hardworking students and dedicated staff. We continually strive towards greatness mirroring the values and image of our Maker. Our God is the source of all knowledge, inspiration, power, creativity and love, and He lives in us; hence, we are able to achieve all things through Him who gives us strength.
FAITH MONTESSORI SCHOOL (FAITH for short) recognises and respects the diverse religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds of its students. It is therefore dedicated to ensuring that they are presented with the needed prop and enabling environment for excellent, astute and productive academic work. FAITH also takes great interest in the personal growth and development of its students. Sound moral precepts are encouraged as students are expected to portray Godly values and bear Godly fruits. We believe this is crucial for success in any venture as God is the ultimate source of talent and ingenuity through instruction.
METHODOLOGY
We skillfully combine two scientific and highly successful approaches. The Montessori Methodology The Montessori approach allows children to grow naturally to retain their individuality and develop their own unique personality. Where our focus is on pupils learning spontaneously, teachers act as skilled observers, identifying students who need help and those better off left on their own to pursue intense activities joyfully. Multiple Intelligences Theory “… It is of the utmost importance that we recognize and nurture all the varied human intelligences, and all the combinations of intelligences. We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligence.” -Howard Gardner (1987) Appreciating the endowment of multiple intelligences that our students possess, the school employs many varied approaches in teaching to support the various learning capacities and styles of our students.
