Alsyd Academy was founded in 1977 by Mrs. Alberta Quartey supported by her husband Dr. Sidney Quartey. The school uses the official curriculum prescribed by the Ghana Education Service (G.E.S.), in addition, the Cambridge Curriculum as well and a 3-Term system which begins in September and ends in August to mark an academic year. Peculiar to Alsyd Academy a few innovations have been added to the subjects’ content to meet the school’s standard and dynamic global trends. The curriculum has been designed so as to have an accelerated system whereby children actually do a year’s work ahead. The Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E.) is written in the final year of Junior High School – J.H.S. 3.
The main essense of Alsyd Academy's vision is to “be the leading provider of basic school-level education in Ghana.”
The mission of the school is to “provide a stimulating environment using contemporary best practice in education for pupil learning.
Alsyd Academy distinguishes itself through excellent B.E.C.E. results achieved by a policy that leaves no child behind by providing accessible modern learning facilities to all. These include a modern Science Lab, Computer Lab, Library, and Activity Room. Pupils who excel academically are recognized and awarded prizes during a speech and prize-giving day at the end of the academic year.
