Association International School (AIS) was founded by the late Colonel George E. Amuah in 1963 as a small private international school and stamped it with his ideals of education, transforming it into a nationally recognized institution decades later. The late Colonel George E. Amuah gave the school its foundational character through the strength of his good qualities, and this legacy continues to date.
— How it all began
The need to establish the AIS came from the late Colonel Amuah’s desire to have all his children educated at an ideal school. However, this desire grew to satisfy more than just his needs. AIS provided scholarly training and moral education for other children as well. Determined to invest in his students, Colonel Amuah recruited an exceptional faculty body that reflected internationalism in the true sense. Additionally, he gave his students an exceptionally well-rounded curriculum through continuous exposure to a meticulously comprehensive education.
— The Fall and Rise of AIS
While the institution has maintained its original site since conception, it underwent a state of great turmoil that deteriorated its reputation in 1984. However, this and much more was reinstated 25 years later when the democratic administration led by His Excellency President John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor released and returned all its confiscated assets to the rightful owners; the Amuahs
— A Period of Transition
Following the reinstatement, students under the Ghana Education Service had to be transitioned and transferred to another government school in 2010 as the institution underwent a major facelift. The newly renovated private international school opened its doors to the public again on the 11th of September, 2011. The campus is set on a 5-acre land and is in phase 2 of a massive capital improvement plan. It has also added two ultra-modern boarding facilities for 8th through 12th-grade students. The institution aims to expand its architecture to accommodate state-of-the-art facilities essential for learning.
