Adisadel College

Adisadel College is an Anglican educational institution for boys founded on the 4th of January 1910 and modelled on the typical English Public School. No wonder the school is Anglican by denomination. The original name of Adisadel College was the S. P. G (Society for the Propagation of the Gospel) Grammar School and later on became the St. Nicholas Grammar School and finally became Adisadel College when it moved to its current location at Adisadel on the outskirts of Cape Coast in Ghana. From a humble beginning with only twenty-nine boys, the school has grown to about 1,500 boys in the past eighty years.

The school motto is “Vel Primus Vel Cum Primis”, that is to say “either the first or with the first”. The old boys have a deep commitment to the school and go to great lengths to ensure that the culture of the school is sustained and this is echoed in the school ode that says “work hard and play hard”.

Currently, Adisadel College does not have day students. The school has 89 teachers with only 15 being female.
