Junior High School
JHS (Ages 12–15 Years)
The Junior High School years mark an important transition toward greater intellectual independence, personal responsibility, and preparation for future education and life.
At Dela Montessori School, our JHS programme combines the Montessori philosophy with the Ghana Education Service curriculum. Students are encouraged to question, investigate, analyse, collaborate, solve problems, and apply their knowledge to real-world situations.
The programme develops not only academic knowledge but also critical thinking, communication, creativity, leadership, digital literacy, responsible decision-making, and character.
