East Legon is one of the most established residential areas in Accra for families, and one of the deepest concentrations of early years schools in the country. Options here span from small home-based creches through internationally-accredited primaries following EYFS, Cambridge and IB pathways. Traffic on Boundary Road and Lagos Avenue is the main practical consideration: most parents look for a school within a 10–15 minute pick-up window, which is why we let you filter by inner East Legon vs the Hills and Adjiringanor extensions.
