Adisadel College is a religious educational organisation for boys founded in January 1910 and based around the same structure as a British private school. The first name given to what is now Adisadel College was the S. P. G (Society for the Propagation of the Gospel) Grammar School and was then the St. Nicholas Grammar School before its name changed one last time to Adisadel College. This was following a change in base to Adisadel which is in Ghana on the Cape Coast. When the school first opened its gates it was attended by twenty nine boys and this had grown over time (80 years to be more precise) to its current number of pupils at in excess of 1,500 boys.

Vosot the Official Adisadel College Site for photographs of the college and more.

The school has a motto which, when translated, means to be 'either the first or to be with the first', though this is written in the ancient language of Latin. The men that attended the college as young boys are devoted to the school and go out of their way to ensure that the school culture is maintained and that it stays true to the school ode which values pupils that work hard in lessons, but can play hard outside of the classroom.

Adisadel College has never, and continues not to, accepted day pupils. There are 89 teachers at the school and out of these only 15 are women.

Ghana is a republic that is part of West Africa and is next to the Guinea Gulf which is situated over its borders. A number of well established communities lived there during the 'pre-colonial' period. During the 15th century Ghana made contact with Portugal and this opened up trade with other European countries. After this Britain made a home in Ghana for its first community, called the crown colony.

Ghana became independent from Britain during the 1950s. It was named Ghana as this had an ancient meaning for the area of West Africa and when translated has meaning based on both the words 'warrior' and 'king'.

Many Britons decide to move to Africa to teach English. This can be a very rewarding job and is definitely challenging. Visit African Impact for more infomration. If you have achieved your teaching qualification to teach languages abroad you must then apply for a visa if you are planning on working for a year to two years or you will have to emigrate if it is for more than two years.
