Cape Coast is often referred to as the education capital of Ghana . The city is home to some of the very best high (secondary) schools in Ghana , as well as a comprehensive university. Participants in the “Summer in Ghana ” program usually visit at least one high school in Ghana to gain an insight into the pre-university educational set-up in Ghana .

This year we visited Wesley Girls High School , Cape Coast which was rated as the top high school in Ghana in 2003. This all-girls school holds a place of honor in Ghanaian education and has produced some of the leading women in the Ghanaian society.

The Akron students had a fascinating visit with their Ghanaian counterparts.
