Brief Profile
Achimota, an educational institution designed with the aim of providing for the educational needs of the people of the Gold Coast, from kindergarten to university, was founded in Accra in 1927 as the Prince of Wales College by the government of the Gold Coast. It was to provide education and character training that would equip those who would attend it, for the needs of the nation.
The school crest explains the school’s motto-black and white keys of the piano put together. ‘Ut Omnes Unum Sint,’ meaning “that all may be one”, which was designed by Dr. Kwagyri Aggrey - His idea was that the black and white race can live together in harmony; also boys and girls can be educated together to bring about harmony.
