Lincoln Community School Accra

Lincoln Community School (LCS) is widely regarded as the leading international school in Ghana, founded in 1966 and recognised as a paragon of international education in West Africa. Located in Abelemkpe, Accra, LCS is a private non-profit college-preparatory international school serving students from Preschool through Grade 12. Notably, Lincoln is one of only three schools in Ghana authorised to offer the complete International Baccalaureate continuum — PYP (Primary Years Programme), MYP (Middle Years Programme), and Diploma Programme (DP) — placing it at the pinnacle of IB education in the region. The school maintains an American-aligned academic calendar (August to June, divided into two semesters) and applies American educational frameworks throughout. Annual tuition ranges from USD $11,800 to $19,950, reflecting the school's world-class provision. LCS serves a highly diverse student body with a substantial proportion of internationally mobile expatriate children alongside Ghanaian national students. Triple accreditation from MSA (Middle States Association), CIS (Council of International Schools), and membership of AISA (Association of International Schools in Africa) further distinguishes LCS. A new school building was opened in 2022, providing modern world-class facilities.
