HELLO

A warm welcome to Golden Foundation Primary School.

We are a Cambridge Accredited Center. An educational centre where we encourage and harness the zeal our young children have to explore and grow. We create the platform which allows our children to put in action their inquisitive mind through interacting, asking questions, engaging in research and project work and doing presentations. To showcase their talents and skills.
Early years in a child’s life is a critical phase to cultivate the mastery of core skills and concepts. We guide our children to think outside the box to help them in their critical thinking and creativity,
paving the way for our children to develop their verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills. Also we lay much emphasis on developing strong reading and comprehension skills by prioritizing phonics, spelling and vocabulary building. Our dedicated team of educators are committed to providing an enriching and supportive environment that fosters academic excellence, creativity, and character development. We prioritize the growth and well-being of each student, applying Independent Learning Programme
(IEP), where needed.

Our commitment to the growth and development of our students goes beyond academics. At Golden Foundation School, we believe in nurturing the whole child. We offer a variety of extracurricular activities, from sports and music to art and technology clubs such as robotics encouraging students to explore their passions and develop new skills. I am excited to welcome new families to join us in our mission to inspire excellence and lifelong learning. Come visit us and experience first hand our serine and nurturing environment. I look forward to welcoming you to GFS family.

Primary Programme (5- 12yrs)

Cambridge programmes and qualifications set the global standard for international education.
They are created by subject experts, rooted in academic rigour and reflect the latest educational research. The Primary programme starts from the Reception class (Kindergarten 2) through to Year 6. The programme is couched for learners between the ages 5 -12years. Reception Class to Year 3 are the Lower Primary and Year 4 - 6 are Upper Primary. Academic courses at the Primary Department comprises English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, Humanities(History & Geography), French, Art & Design, Physical Education, Music and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE).

English and Mathematics form the core focus, hence are taught each day of the week. The full range of topics in the Primary Programme curriculum are covered throughout the academic year. At the heart of Golden Foundation School’s educational policy is to develop learners with a holistic global perspective. Therefore, our academics ensure a homogeneous blend of local content with international content. In this regard, reading comprehension in English features some local stories. Learning about money in Mathematics is inclusive of the Ghana cedi. In addition, learners are taught African and Ghanaian histories as part of the History and Geography curricula. Art, French, P. E. and Music also featured on the timetable. These are taught by highly qualified professionals in the field. These are compulsory for all learners, as it adds to the overall development of the learners.

Physical Education is done once a week.

It fosters the development of good body coordination, endurance and builds teamwork in our learners.

PSHE is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives, now and in the future.

The Upper Primary operates subject teaching. All subjects at this level are taught by experienced professional teachers with strong competencies in both the Primary and Lower Secondary Cambridge curricula. However, each class has a Class teacher who plays a supervisory role and is responsible for the well being of the learners in his/her class
