Open Day at Canadian Independent College

 

The Canadian Independent College Ghana (CIC Ghana) has held its Open Day in Accra to give parents and the public the opportunity to interact with teachers and students.

It was also to offer parents the opportunity to appreciate the strides made so far by the institution, which is a preparatory university college providing a caring learning environment for students.

The Principal of CIC Ghana, Mrs Agnes Attakora-Gyan, said the institution focused on the development of each student to build his or her potential in terms of intellectual, ethical, physical, and social qualities.

Learning environment

“The well-qualified teaching and non-teaching staff are committed to academic excellence, and also assist students to learn time management skills so that they can balance academic and extracurricular activities,” she explained.

Mrs Attakora-Gyan said the vision of the school was  to   see each student     succeed  in   the  ever global, multidimensional and multicultural competitive environment experienced in universities and colleges around the world.

She said in the full-day junior and senior kindergarten programme of the school, children received individualised attention and interactive lessons in listening, speaking, math, reading, writing, science, technology, self and society. 

Trimester system

Mrs Attakora-Gyan added that the college continued to be organised around a complete trimester system whereby a student could accumulate 10 complete high school credits from the beginning of September to the end of June without attending summer school.

“Meanwhile, by the end of grade 10, students would have completed 16 of 18 compulsory courses required by the Ministry of Education for graduation purposes. These courses will be taught at a level that will enable students to achieve Canadian Diploma standards, as well as begin their preparation for the Advanced Placement exams in years three and four. Successful completion of these exams allows students to gain university credits concurrently with the completion of Grade 12 credits,” she explained.

CIC Ghana is a university preparatory college providing a caring learning environment. The campus is large, spacious, modern, and located on a beautifully landscaped property in Accra.
