Who We Are

A Legacy of Compassion & Education

The Captain Centre operates as a Centre of Excellence in Education and Research, Sustainability and Sustainable Development Advocacy. For 8 years, we've provided private basic education to orphans and underserved children in the Ahanta West Municipality, Western Region, Ghana.

Drawn from families who often live on less than $1.25 per day, our pupils are shining examples of what students can achieve when they are given the opportunity to receive a quality education.

Our Focus

Helping children build a firm foundation for their social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Strengthening literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking
Artistic work: painting, drawing, music, and crafts
Empowering with true knowledge and creativity

Our Teaching Philosophy

Head, Heart & Hands

Our specially-trained teachers know that a child learns not only through the head, but also through the heart and hands. Therefore the lessons incorporate artistic work like painting, drawing and music, ring games, drama, and crafts.

Captain Schools empowers children with true knowledge, creativity, and the ability to take initiative — preparing a generation of youth with a solid foundation in literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills.

"We aim to not only transform the lives of the children and their families, but to catalyze increased development in the region and the nation at large."
