Welcome To Mothers' Joy International School
Mothers’ Joy International School (MJIS) is a private international centre for basic formal education and child development.We were incorporated under the companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) of the Republic of Ghana and also approved by National School Inspectorate Authority ( NaSIA) to operate as a school.
The origin of the school's vision dates back to the year 2003.The area in which the school was founded seemed deprived and there were not many basic schools and the children around could not read at the ages they were expected to. These conditions fueled the passion to set Mothers' Joy International School. In 2005, the preschool was established with an enrollment of just 2 students with a teacher and the school started at a site few metres away from its current location.Further growth and development led to the acquisition and relocation to the permanent location at Aduman - Pokuase along the Pokuase - Katapor road. The school achieved JHS standard in 2014. The first batch of students for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) sat in 2016 and came out with numerous distinctions that put the school in the spot light. In so doing , the pioneers set the tone and standard for a legacy of academic achievement, hard work and discipline that has been the school's distinctive features to date which we are proud of.
Currently, our graduates are found excelling in most of the best second cycle and tertiary schools in Ghana
