ICC Boarding
School

Our boarding facility is truly a home away from home.

The boarding facility at International Community College (ICC) is truly a home away from home. Strategically located in a serene, gated community along the Spintex Road in the Tema Metropolis, the facility offers a peaceful and secure environment conducive to both academic and personal development.

Rooted in Christian values, ICC’s boarding school fosters discipline, integrity, and character formation through a well-structured environment. Students benefit from the daily support of boarding masters and a committed team of resident staff, who not only supervise but mentor students in a caring, values-driven atmosphere

📚 Core Subjects

  • Literacy: Focused on building strong reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
  • Numeracy: Emphasizes problem-solving and logical thinking through a robust mathematics curriculum.
  • Science: Encourages observation, inquiry, and hands-on discovery of natural and physical phenomena.
  • Ethics & Values: Rooted in Christian principles, this subject promotes respect, empathy, discipline, and social responsibility.

Spiritual & Character Formation

Devotional sessions are built into students’ daily routines, reinforcing spiritual growth and ethical grounding. Every Saturday morning, students participate in a reflective homeroom session—a platform to review the week, discuss behavioral expectations, and reinforce positive habits.

Students are also trained to take personal responsibility for their living space and the materials provided. Tolerance, respect, and collaboration with peers are core expectations. In addition to academics, students are taught basic home-care skills like cleaning, laundry, ironing, and personal hygiene—laying a strong foundation for independent, responsible living.

Sunday Church Service
