Welcome from the Education Director

The Owls’ Nest International School is a child centred environment, where every student matters. Primary school education should be an enriching experience that inspires a life-long love of learning and enquiry.

Welcome to ONIS

As the Education Director, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you. We encourage and enable our children to think independently, to be confident in their own abilities and to develop into individuals who are caring and confident. Small classes, individual attention, sound preparation and a happy but hardworking atmosphere are included in the overall philosophy of the school.

The school has a tremendously nurturing inclusive environment and I believe that pupil performance and well-being go hand in hand; we must meet the needs of all our children so that they can achieve their potential, socially, emotionally and academically. 

I hope you will find our website a useful source of information. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to visit us and find out for yourself what makes us such an exceptional school.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Testimonials

My daughter was at Owl’s Nest for close to two years and I can’t rave enough about ONIS. From the moment we did a tour of the school, I knew we were in the right place. The environment is welcoming and encourages learning through activities and exploration. The teachers and admin staff were always welcoming and made you feel like part of the family.

My daughter started her school life at Owl's Nest beginning of 2016 at the age of 3 years until end of 2019 at the age of 7years. These 4 years have been the most amazing years for my daughter, seeing her grow into a bright and confident girl and all thanks to the school. The teaching methods of Owls Nest are just incredible, she has just been surprising us with all the knowledge she gains every day in class, she reads clearly and her mathematics skills are excellent.

I could not have imagined a better place for my child in the caring hand of the Owl's Nest faculty my child excelled beyond our imagination. She was given such a strong foundation ina loving and encouraging environment that set her on a life part.

Benee, Parent

Owls Nest was a key factor in helping us to settling into Accra. Well organised, efficient, friendly and cosy. It was the perfect environment and our daughter loved it. It was also very professional and very in tune with our child’s development and progress. Fabulous place. Fabulous memories. It was a home away from home for our daughter. We are very happy with the progress she made there. It gave her such a wonderful foundation. Thank you Owls Nest.

We will forever be grateful to Owl's Nest for the role they have played in shaping our daughter into an intelligent and confident young girl that she is. She truly misses her first friends and her teachers from Owl's Nest. I would recommend the school to any parent in Ghana, and given a chance I would choose Owl's Nest over and over.

My children’s first experience of full-time education was in Ghana(having previously attended nursery in the UK). The school gave my children the best educational start they could possibly have.  From their first day at school until they left they were both excited to come to school each day. Having returned to the UK system we truly realise how fortunate they have been to have begun their educational years in Ghana.  They have both been able to slip into the UK system without any major surprises. They have made new friends and are moving on but will hold a little piece of Ghana in their hearts as will we. I would resoundingly recommend this school to any parent.

I’m writing to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional education our daughter Olivia Gutierrez received at Owl’s Nest. The school provided a nurturing and stimulating environment that fostered her academic growth and personal development. The teachers were incredibly dedicated and passionate about their subjects, creating engaging and inspiring lessons. They took a genuine interest in each student and provided personalised support to help them reach their full potential. The diverse student body exposed our daughter to different cultures and perspectives, broadening her worldview and preparing her for a globalised society. The school’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and respect for all was evident in the positive and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we highly recommend ONIS. The school’s focus on academic excellence, personal development, and a diverse and inclusive community made it a truly wonderful place for Olivia to learn and grow.
