Small enough to be known
Two sessions instead of one crowded timetable means a teacher can learn every name in the room, and notice when a chair is empty.
About the Academy
A general education school in the heart of Ganta
Ada and Children Upper Room International Academy exists for one reason: so that the children of Blakays Town Community can get a complete education without leaving their own community.
Our purpose
Education that stays in the community
Families in Blakays Town Community should not have to send a seven-year-old across Ganta City to find a classroom. We are a neighbourhood school offering the full general curriculum — elementary and junior high, under one roof, on one continuous path.
Our pupils study English, mathematics, science and history, alongside reading and literature, physical education and daily devotion. Grade 9 pupils prepare for the West African Examinations Council examinations that open the door to senior secondary school.
We run two sessions a day so that classes stay small. The morning session takes the ABC class through Grade 6. The afternoon session takes Grades 7 through 9. Neither session is a shortened version of the other — both get a full timetable.

What we hold to
Four commitments we can actually be held to
Not slogans — these are the things a parent can walk onto the campus and check.
The full core curriculum
English, mathematics, science and history for every pupil, every year — not a reduced programme.
A steady start each day
Every session opens with devotion before the first lesson. It settles the room and sets the tone.
A clean, safe campus
Hygiene supplies are pooled across every classroom, and the campus is treated against mosquitoes each term.
Our people
Who looks after your child
The Academy is run by a small team who are on campus every school day.
School Administration
The principal and administrative staff handle enrollment, placement, fees and any concern a parent needs to raise.
Class Teachers
Each class has a teacher responsible for its pupils — their attendance, their progress and their conduct.
Subject Teachers
From the upper elementary grades, specialist teachers take mathematics, science and English through to Grade 9.
