Welcome to St. Albans International School, where we work together as a community to create a positive learning environment. Our pupils are encouraged to grow and develop their academic and social skills and become responsible, young adults prepared to make a difference in the world. We are a small school, admitting only a few students into each year group, and this enables us to provide tailored provision for all our students to meet their academic and social needs. Our students’ excellent examination results are testament to our success. We have had 100% distinction in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) so far. Our longstanding and strong tradition of academic excellence is maintained through the dedication and commitment of our staff. We work in partnership with our students to ensure that all our work in school is undertaken in a supportive, caring and friendly environment.
Our reputation for high academic achievement is derived from putting God first and our constant commitment to providing purposeful and pleasant education to all our pupils. At St. Albans International School, everyone is treated with respect and recognized for their unique God-given talents. We celebrate our successes and our differences, recognizing that we succeed in so many more ways aside academics. If you are still undecided on joining us, you are welcome to pay our office a visit, where our wonderful administrative team are ready to answer your questions and give you a tour of the compound. We look forward to welcoming you to our family, either as a member of staff or as a pupil! |

Born out of a love and passion for quality holistic education, and the need for a good school in the catchment area, Tiny Angels Nursery School was established, in 2003, by the Executive Director of the school, Madam Vida Asante-Frimpong. It started with a population of 6 pupils and 3 members of staff, and was then named Tiny Angels Nursery School.
The name was officially changed to St. Albans International School in 2010, when the primary and junior high school sections were added. Since then, St. Albans has become a progressive boarding and day school for pupils aged between 9 months and 14 years. An all-round education focuses on equipping the pupils with all the life skills required of adults in the 21st century. Within a caring and supportive framework, pupils enjoy a dynamic academic curriculum, supported by qualified, experienced staff and diverse, exciting extra-curricular activities.
