American-curriculum international schools in Ghana generally follow a US K - 12 structure that leads to a US-style high-school diploma and commonly offer Advanced Placement (AP) options; a number of American-track schools also run the IB Diploma or other international pathways in the upper years. English is the primary language of instruction, with French and additional language lessons available at many schools, and several providers run English-as-an-Additional-Language or learning-support programmes for newcomers. Tuition is typically dollar-linked and varies widely between providers and year groups; established American-track schools in Accra often charge in the low tens of thousands of US dollars a year for older grades, while smaller or locally based American schools can be considerably cheaper, and families should budget separately for application/registration charges, capital levies, transport, uniforms and exam fees. Most schools follow an August/September academic cycle, publish annual fee schedules or personalised quotes, and require standard admissions documents such as previous school reports and health/immunisation records, so parents moving to Ghana should begin enquiries well before their planned start date and check each school’s published fee and payment policies.
