Our History
The Explorers Schools opened its doors in 2007, when 2 passionate Montessorians, Karine McVeigh and Kamilla Kirpalani, dared to dream to create the 1st true accredited Montessori school in West-Africa.
What started in the back yard of a house, with only 12 students, soon grew to become one of the best early years and primary schools in Ghana. In 2009, Little Explorers gained its UK Accreditation from the Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board, for which it acquired a Grade 1. In May 2017 it renewed its accreditation for the 3rd time. In 2019, Explorers Schools attained IQAA, South Africa Validation which it will renew in 2024.
Explorers Schools is currently home to 220 pupils from 40 different countries, aging from 15 months to 10 years old!
