Mfantsipim is an all-boys boarding secondary school in Cape Coast, Ghana, established by the Methodist Church in 1876 to foster intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth on the then Gold Coast. Its founding name was Wesleyan High School and the first headmaster was James Picot, a French scholar, who was only 18 years old at his appointment.
Mfantsipim is nicknamed “The School” by its old boys for the fact that several other schools in Ghana such as Prempeh College and Ghana National College were born out of it, as these schools were started with students from Mfantsipim.
The idea of establishing a collegiate school to raise educational standards on the Gold Coast was first mooted in 1865 but was not realized until 1876 when the Wesleyan High School was established on the Cape Coast with donations from local businessmen and the support of the Methodist Missionary Society in London.
Mfantsipim is among the best performing senior high schools in Ghana, and also one of the top National Maths and Science Quiz winners.
