Tamale Islamic Science Senior High School (Tissec) is a public, co-educational senior high school located in Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region of Ghana.[1] It was established in 1997 as a STEM school by the Islamic Development Bank. Later, it was absorbed into the Ghanaian public school system.[2][3] The school was used as a temporary lecture space for students of the University for Development Studies.[4]
Academics[edit]
Tissec offers a curriculum focused on science and technology, preparing students for further education and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The school provides three main programs:[1]
- General Science
- Home Economics
- Agriculture
Facilities and Student Life[edit]
Tissec is primarily a boarding school, offering on-campus residence for almost all of its students. This allows students across Ghana to access quality science education. However, the school also accepts a limited number of day students who live close enough to commute daily. There are four residential houses:
- Kanville House (Blue)
- Saatingli (Yellow)
- Gbanzaba (Green)
- Nkrumah (Red)
Other facilities essential for academic and student life, includes: biology, chemistry, physics, and computer laboratories, enabling scientific exploration and research. Additionally, an agricultural station dedicated to horticultural studies provides hands-on learning opportunities. Supporting student well-being, the campus features a dispensary, library, mosque, and sports field for medical assistance, academic resources, spiritual engagement, and recreational activities, respectively. A market area is also available for the purchase of hot meals, snacks, and school items, ensuring convenience for students and staff alike.
Admissions and School Performance[edit]
Students are admitted to TISSEC through the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), the centralized admissions system for Ghanaian senior high schools.[5]
Sister Schools[edit]
Tissec has a sister school relationship with Kentucky Country Day School, Louisville, as part of the Tamale-Louisville sister city relationship administered under the office of the Zosimli Naa.[6][7][8]
