But Ghana Christian International High School today is a product of the dedication and work of many people such as Louvenia Gafney the Founding Principal, Vivian Campbell who for over a decade was the SHS Principal, Kwaku Manteaw Asare and Kwasi Poku Mpiani-Brobbe who have been the principal agents in our physical development, Geofrey Deane, the official Architect of the school from far away Sydney, Australia and his quality local built specialist from Architects Lawrence Avevor and Stella Athiabah and Kwaku Scott and the Chaplains who bear the facial responsibility to make the school Christian. To these, the Trustees and Board Members who keep me and Management on the straight and narrow path, we owe Ghana Christian International High School.<\/p>\n\n<p>I believe that a school is as good as its teachers. In Ghana Christian International School, we have the best collection of dedicated Christian teachers. We also strive to maintain teacher-student ratio of under 1:10 a factor which accounts for our position among the topmost schools in Ghana and compares with the best any where in the world in terms of academic achievement.<\/p>\n\n<p>But what stands us out is our Christian faith and culture. Jesus is our Lord and our principal aim is to help young people grow in \u201cstature, in wisdom and in favour with God and man\u201d (Luke 2:52). In other words, we aim at growing a total person for ethical and moral leadership of their generation. On that basis we select our management and staff on the basis of their sharing in the vision of the school to be partners in preparing students for higher education anywhere in the world and to give them the tool to serve \u201cfor God, Family and Country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>I invite you parent, guardian, prospective students to come join us build the lives of the generation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Prof Stephen Adei, Ph.D, MTh<br>\nCompanion ,Order of the Volta<br>\nChairman of GCIHS\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-520fcd59\" data-id=\"520fcd59\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d823a67 elementor-nav-menu__align-start elementor-nav-menu--dropdown-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-nav-menu\" data-id=\"2d823a67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;layout&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;submenu_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&lt;i class=\\&quot;fas fa-caret-down\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/i&gt;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;}}\" data-widget_type=\"nav-menu.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<nav aria-label=\"Menu\" class=\"elementor-nav-menu--main elementor-nav-menu__container elementor-nav-menu--layout-vertical e--pointer-none\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul id=\"menu-1-2d823a67\" class=\"elementor-nav-menu sm-vertical\"><li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-540\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcihs.online\/index.php\/foreword\/\" class=\"elementor-item\">Foreword<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-539\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcihs.online\/index.php\/mission-vision\/\" class=\"elementor-item\">Mission &#038;
