History edit

The school was established in 1936 by three elders of the Methodist Church at Asafo-Akyem as a preparatory institution to prepare Ghanaian students who wanted to sit the then Junior Cambridge Examination.[2] It was relocated to Kyebi in 1937 by Nana Sir Ofori Atta I who laid the foundation stone on 11 October 1937 thus becoming the founder and father of the school, Abuakwa State College was born to enable more students especially those from Akyem Abuakwa to enroll in the school.[3][4]
