Two Global Stages, One Exceptional Journey: GIS Students Shine at MISE 2026

Olivia Lecosson — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:36:26 +0000

From over 600 students across 100+ schools, the 2026 MISE journey was nothing short of extraordinary, narrowing through intense stages to just six national finalists.
And at the heart of it all: Qi Wang and Yaw Omane Boamah of Ghana International School.
Both have earned the honour of representing Ghana at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), with Qi Wang emerging as the first-best overall, a powerful mark of excellence.
But they didn’t stop there.
Amidst the demands of IMO preparation, they took on the rigorous MISE Research Programme, pushing their minds into real-world, graduate-level mathematics. And once again, they rose, emerging as finalists and securing a place at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
Two global stages. One exceptional journey.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the MISE Foundation for this life-changing platform, to their dedicated coach, Mr Sowah, and to their ever-supportive parents. This achievement is a shared victory.
Ghana’s future is bright. And it’s only just beginning.

The NHSMUN journey for our students continues to be an incredible blend of learning, global exposure, and unforgettable experiences! Over the past two days, our delegates have been immersed in moments of inspiration and growth.
A highlight was their visit to the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York, where they gained valuable insight into innovation, creativity, and the dynamic spirit of a global city. This was followed by an engaging NHSMUN Training Session that further sharpened their diplomatic skills and prepared them for meaningful participation in committee debates.
They also had the unique privilege of visiting the Permanent Missions of Ghana
and Kuwait
to the United Nations, where they experienced first-hand the realities of diplomacy and international relations on the global stage.
Our delegates are energised, confident, and ready to make their voices heard in the upcoming debate sessions.

Olivia Lecosson — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 10:02:00 +0000

Selected Form 3 students were truly captivated during their recent interaction with renowned author Dr. G. A. Agambila! His young adult novel Bolga by Bus, which explores poverty, rural-urban migration, and child trafficking, sparked a deep and meaningful conversation.
Guided by Mrs. Joseph, Head of the Literature Department, and Mr. Gabriel Boateng, History Teacher, students engaged in an eye-opening interdisciplinary dialogue that connected literature to real-world social issues.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Agambila for inspiring our learners and enriching their understanding through story and reflection.

Building a Better Ghana: GIS Partners with YWCA for Literacy Initiative

Olivia Lecosson — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:56:07 +0000

Social responsibility is a core value for GIS learners. As part of the Form 2 Leadership Programme, students participate annually in a community service initiative that enables them to put their leadership skills into action.

On 10th January 2026, GIS launched a Literacy Programme in partnership with the YWCA Library, Adabraka, Accra. In line with our literacy initiatives Ms. Grace Hanson and Mrs. Lydia Quansah, the patrons of our Social Responsibility Club, have been working closely with pupils of St. Joseph’s Basic School in the Adabraka community. These pupils form part of the target group for literacy improvement under the YWCA Library programme, led by Mrs. Irene Elizabeth Baitie, a former GIS parent.

In her opening remarks, Mrs. Angela van der Puije, the Vice Principal of the Lower Secondary School, highlighted the critical role of literacy in national development and its importance in building a better Ghana. A representation of GIS Form 2 students had the opportunity to mentor pupils from St. Joseph’s through engaging activities, including a panel discussion on the power of reading, a reading contest, and an interactive literacy quiz facilitated by Mrs. Lydia Quansah. The day culminated in a book donation from GIS to the YWCA Library.

Beginning Saturday, 17th January 2026, Form 2 students and teachers will lead literacy activities at the YWCA Library every Saturday. Each student is expected to participate in at least one session, reinforcing GIS’s commitment to leadership, service, and social responsibility.
