Malahk Academy is a Ghana-based educational initiative committed to building more than a school—we are building a foundation for long-term opportunity, stability, and growth.
Our campus is being developed as a complete ecosystem that brings education, food security, skills training, and community infrastructure together in one place. What you see here is not a concept or a plan on paper—it is an active site where classrooms, housing, and shared facilities are taking shape. We believe education works best when it is supported by real-world systems. By integrating learning with agriculture, vocational training, and local employment, Malahk Academy is designed to sustain itself while serving the children and families who rely on it. This project is rooted in the belief that lasting change comes from building with intention, transparency, and commitment. Every structure on this land represents a step toward a future where students can learn safely, communities can thrive, and opportunity can grow from the ground up.

A Holistic, Structured Learning Continuum
Academics
Our students pursue a rigorous curriculum. Rooted in an African – centered educational framework, our mission is to develop children into exceptional human beings—academically rigorous, disciplined, focused, and purpose-driven.
Our holistic, organic methodology emphasizes excellence in reading, mathematics, geography, health, arts and cultural enrichment, while cultivating critical thinking, self-mastery, and global awareness. As a private school, we operate with clearlydefined measurable outcomes to ensure accountability, academic growth, and long-term student success.
Farm to Table
The farm-to-table program at Malahk Academy connects learning directly to the land, teaching students where food comes from and how it sustains both people and communities. Through hands-on agricultural practice, students gain an understanding of planting, cultivation, and harvest, while seeing how these efforts support daily life on campus.
This approach promotes healthy nutrition, environmental awareness, and self-reliance—reinforcing the value of responsibility, discipline, and sustainability as part of everyday education.
Community Engagement
The University Basic School, in collaboration with Malahk Academy, Ghana, organized a dental health program themed “Enhancing the Smiles of Our Future Leaders”, as part of the 75th anniversary of University of Ghana. The initiative aimed to promote oral hygiene awareness among pupils and reinforce the importance of preventive dental care.
Mrs. Christina Armah, Head of the University Basic School, emphasized that the mouth is the gateway to overall health. Dr. Cheryl Lee, a prominent dentist from Washington, DC, provided practical instruction and distributed dental educational materials.
Built to Endure
The Malahk Academy school building is constructed to the highest structural and safety standards. The reinforced foundation extends approximately seven feet below ground level to ensure long-term stability and load-bearing strength.
The substructure is engineered to support future expansion while protecting against soil movement and environmental stress. All materials meet industry-approved standards, with strict adherence to professional building codes and engineering specifications—ensuring a resilient facility for generations.
