EPHPHATHA
Why we're different

Our crest isn't decoration.
It's the plan.

Power and Brilliancy is the motto on our banner, and Ephphatha — be opened — sits across the middle of the shield. Everything above them on the crest says how we get there.

One to one

Bottle caps make perfectly good counters when you need them to.

1
The open book

Ghana's Standards-Based Curriculum, taught from pre-school through to JHS with one stream at each level. Assessment is continuous and formative — we watch a learner work, not just how they finish.

2
The star

Class tests, project work and an end-of-term assessment. We report a position and an overall average each term, plus a cumulative card at year end — brilliancy you can actually point at.

Ephphatha

The word on our crest means “be opened”. With 120 learners and 8 teachers, a child is not a number here — and their cumulative record follows them through every year they spend with us.

4
The world in two hands

We are a rural school and we teach with what is to hand — bottle caps for counting, charts on every wall, and a bus so that distance is never the reason a child misses school.

“Ephphatha — be opened.”

— Rational Academy, Agbakope, since 2018

Programs

Ages 1 to 15.
One school, four stages.

Each program builds on the last. Learners don't have to adjust to a new school every few years — they grow up here.

All programs
Stage 01
Creche
1 – 3 yrs

Lots of sensory play, singing, and practical life stuff — pouring water, buttoning shirts. They learn by doing, and they love it.

Sensory bins & outdoor play
Basic independence skills
Language through songs & stories
Stage 02
Preschool
3 – 5 yrs

This is where reading and counting take hold — often with whatever is to hand, from charts on the wall to bottle caps on the desk.

Maths & language
Cultural studies
Art & music exploration
Stage 03
Kindergarten
5 – 6 yrs

The bridge year. Reading becomes fluent, maths gets more abstract, and learners start working on group projects that teach collaboration.

Reading fluency
Problem-solving projects
Early science experiments
Stage 04
Primary & JHS
6 – 15 yrs

Independent research, deeper thinking, and real responsibility. By the time learners finish JHS, they know how to learn — not just what to memorise.

Research-based learning
Leadership opportunities
GES-aligned curriculum

All programs aligned with the Ghana Education Service (GES) curriculum.

Celebrating Our Learners

A milestone moment for our learners — and for the eight teachers who got them there.

A Day to Remember

Gowns, kente and a certificate in every hand. Families, teachers and the community come out together — in Agbakope a graduation is a village occasion, not a school one.

The People Behind It

Eight teachers, 120 learners, one stream at each level. Small enough that every teacher knows every child by name — and knows which ones need watching this week.

From happy families
in Agbakope

The class is small and his teacher knows him properly. When he was struggling with his reading we heard about it early, and they worked with him one on one until it clicked.

The bus is what made it possible for us. We are some way out, and before this getting her to school every day was the hardest part of the week. Now it is simply arranged with the fees.

We started her in pre-school and she can stay right through to JHS with teachers who already know her. Every term we get a report, and at the end of the year a card showing the whole picture.

Visit us in Agbakope

Come and see for
yourself. No pressure.

The best way to know if Rational Academy is right for your learner is to walk through our classrooms, meet the teachers, and watch the learners work. We offer personal tours every weekday — just call ahead.
