Oasis Pre-School
The Pre-school situated off the Bolgatanga Library road, had a good start with 107 children in classes: Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2, Grade 1 and Grade 2 under the able leadership of Mrs. Dorothy Akubah-Apidogo and her assistant Mr. Samuel Arthur. At that time, Montessori schools were breaking new ground.
On entering our typical Montessori classroom one is struck by the organization of the learning environment. The Prepared Environment is a characteristic of the Montessori method. In this classroom, children are free to learn through ‘doing’ and ‘touching’; the children learn through practice and repetition of an activity until they have mastered the skill. That, in itself, is physically, spiritually and emotionally satisfying to a child.
Not only does this sense of achievement boost self-esteem, but it produces a child who is self-motivated to learn. The professional teachers who worked tirelessly with 4 other teachers have created the premises for growth to an enviable position.
Under the current administration, Ms Helen Adongo has been Head teacher (Pre-school and Primary) since September 2008
