Our History
The school initially was started in a friend’s garage close to the current location. The need for a new site arose and Mrs. Kwakye, in looking for a place, landed on a piece of land adjacent to the Borstal Institute, Roman Ridge, where she built classrooms for the Nursery and Kindergarten classes.
Gradually theschool expanded to Primary Six. Then in 1991, the Junior High School (JHS) block was begun and the first batch of pupils was admitted in 1993 and this batch finished JHS (JSS)3 in 1996. Not to be left behind in this modern age of technology, the school put up the first of two ICT laboratories in 2002
Jack and Jill School was established as a nursery in
1975 by Mrs. Agnes Kwakye. There were initially six (6)
pupils. It has since grown by leaps and bounds and
currently has a population of about 850 pupils made
up of Preschool (Playgroup, Nursery One, Nursery
Two and Kindergarten). Primary One to Six and Junior
High School (Forms One to Three).
Mrs. Kwakye was born and raised in the Eastern Region with other siblings. After her father’s misfortune in 1946 when his cocoa farm was destroyed by fire, she was taken to live with her uncle. Through the assistance of some Philanthropic Basel Missionaries, she was able to get formal education from primary through Teacher’s Training College. Ingratitude to these missionaries, two of the five Houses of the school have been named after two of them –Mishler and Forman.
