This month marks the end of the academic year. We have come to an end of 5th batch of our students. We are preparing for our next graduation. In all we have run 5 academic years since 2014. Now, Accra school is 10yrs. The last courses taught were 1,2, and 3 John and Denominational Doctrine by Emmanuel Gyasi Quansah, Elementary Greek by Sammy. This quarter was the first time our students were introduced to Greek studies. They were much impressed with the lessons. All the students were present during all the courses.
