About US
OUR Story
WAAPC American School was established to enhance access to high-quality international education in West Africa, helping students compete on a global scale. It emerged from the WAAPC Education Group, which supported students in preparing for international exams and university admissions. Recognizing that many talented students lacked access to a structured educational environment, the founders created WAAPC American School to offer a comprehensive pathway from Early Years through Grade 12, focusing on academic rigor, character development, and global citizenship.
The school promotes critical thinking, leadership skills, and ambitious academic goals through an internationally recognized curriculum. Today, WAAPC American School is dedicated to developing confident, capable, and globally minded students prepared to make positive contributions to their communities.
