Our model elementary school is located at Tuba and presently serves a total of 74 students.
Arise had class space for only pre-school to grade three until the 2022 academic year; transitioning students from Basic three to Basic four had to further their studies in Government schools located in either of the communities we serve.
Since 2022, AEF has eight Grades: Nursery (I & II), Kindergarten (I & II) and Basic 1- 6, students in the Basic five and six are our Foundation class. In 2023, we had a total of 81 beneficiaries with seven students transition to different schools because they had to relocate further away from the school.
In addition to this, we teach every child through fun activities and engage the curiosity of the students in order to make sure they are willing to learn and gain the awareness that knowledge is something worth achieving.
AEF ensures to maintain the high standards of an educational institution and provide them the best of services. Our self-imposed values stems from the mnemonics “ARISE”.
Be confident in their own abilities and always willing to develop to be resourceful
Students and staff should be answerable to their actions and duties
Honest, Self-motivated, working without supervision, do the right when no one is watching.
Thoughts and deeds should be for the good of others
Be the motivator to push staff and students alike to do their best
Additionally our teachers take responsibility for students’ progress and encourage them to stick to these values.
Extra Curricular School Activities
Friday Activities
We spend our Friday afternoons at school with games, projects or sporting activities.
In our Friday Activities, playtoys from the German company „goki“ play a central role. At goki, they believe in making responsible toys: only using wood from sustainable, European forestry. They endeavor to manufacture as many products as possible in a recyclable way.
In 2023 alone, Arise received a total of 50 Units of toy shipment, so user friendly to all our elementary school classes. Some of these include Balancierspiel, Ringwurfspiel, Dominos and puzzle games.
Arise takes this opportunity to thank goki for the great toys that we all enjoy so much, especially on our Friday Activites!
Early Morning Reading Activity
Committed to the mission of empowering students through innovative educational programs, the Early Morning Reading Activity significantly nurtured a love for reading and enhancing students’ literacy skills. At Arise, and of course, everywhere, a child reading is a child learning.
Teaching reading is one of the basic skills you learn in school, but one of the most important ones, because it is fundamental for the future lessons in school. Therefore we invest a lot of time in our early morning activity to coach our students to develop their reading prowess and fall in love with the activity.
Tech X — IT Classes
Tech Experience is a computer literacy project focused on introducing students to basic computer knowledge and responsible internet usage. In our fast paced and tech dominated dispensation, the importance of computer literacy cannot be overstated.
On this backdrop, Arise e.V in partnership with the Macina Foundation runs weekend IT lessons for the school’s primary four to six pupils, each lesson lasting a three-hour period.
Total of 18 Students have been enrolled unto these lessons over the last one year: averagely holding two lessons in each month.
Film Festival
In partnership with the Kokrobitey Institute our students joined a monthly Environmental Film festival for children in the Kokrobitey, Langma communities. The primary purpose of the film festival is to expose young people to the world.
Our Goal
To promote the joy of learning whiles providing educational offers for brilliant but needy children in our model school. We envision building enabling cultural exchanges for our team and beneficiaries, with regular interactions between Germany and Ghana.
