Social media went awash with photographs and videos from the prom night of students of Ghana International School with some flaunting the wealth of their parents.
A prom is a school event conducted at the conclusion of each academic year for students who are in their final years.
It is a special occasion for students to celebrate their high school graduation and a chance for them to spend one more night together as a family before departing for other institutions to further their studies.
Ghana International School currently has a student population of 1,398 from 47 nationalities.
depunch.com decided to look into how much you will need to enroll your child at GIS in light of the glittering at the school’s prom and the response of the public.
Our want for this scanty information took us back to way back 2018-19 academic year, where GIS students paid a single $100 registration cost, although the entrance and tuition prices differed.
For Ghanaian students, a flat admission fee of $6,000 in collected; those in primary pay a tuition fee of $2,027 per term, secondary students pay $3,054 and Sixth form students pay $3,360
Long-term expatriate students also pay a flat admission fee of $6,500, expat primary students pay $ 2,757 as tuition fees per term, secondary students pay $3,932 and Sixth form students pay $4,237.
Meanwhile, short-term expatriate/diplomat pay $7,000 as admission fee; those in primary pay $3,932 per term as tuition fees, those in secondary pay $5,098 and those in Sixth Form pay $5,429.
Since this fee schedule is from way back 2018/2019, it’s likely to be higher for the 2022/2023 academic year.
