Prempeh College

Prempeh College as an educational institution is a product of a fruitful collaboration between the Kumasi Traditional Council, the Presbyterian and Methodist churches in the then Gold Coast and the Colonial Central Government.

The Colonial Government sought to correct this imbalance in the early 1940’s by inviting the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, which had proven experience in running institutions of learning to start a Secondary School for boys.

After some delays caused by the Second World War, the final decision to open a school for boys in Kumasi was taken in 1948.   Prempeh College, therefore, was founded to fill a void that had existed in Secondary Education for residents of Ashanti and the Northern Sector of the Country.

BRIEF HISTORY

The school’s official name is Prempeh College.  Both current and past students are known as Amanfoﬤ, depicting the sense of nationalism imbued in the pioneering students in the original motto of the College: “Oman pa fapem me obrapa” which translates as Good citizens make a good nation.  There is a strong determination through hard work, integrity and good morals and also a strong desire by Amanfoﬤ to serve the nation in particular, and the world at large in any capacity they find themselves.

The original motto was amended to “Suban Ne NimdeƐ” – Character and Knowledge in 1964.

VISION

The school’s main vision is to offer Prempeh College students a unique experience in education in order to achieve academic excellence, and to train young men to occupy positions of responsibility.

MISSION

To provide committed service and the relevant inputs that will enhance teaching and learning, ensure compliance of school rules and regulations by students and mould the character of students in achieving the vision of the school.
