The President’s Desk
Dr. Benedict Donkor
President & CEO
After experiencing both the Ghanaian and United States educational systems, I noticed a disparity between the Ghanaian system and fostering innovation. This realization weighed heavily on me, igniting a passion to narrow this gap for future generations. This vision has been driving me, leading to the establishment of Crown Heights School.
I, Dr. Donkor, proudly serve as the founder and CEO of Crown Heights School (CHS). Our mission revolves around pioneering curriculum innovations to nurture well-rounded scholars with exceptional skills and intellect.
At CHS, we instill an entrepreneurial mindset, and innovation, and promote financial literacy and interdependence among our students. Moreover, we prioritize instilling a sense of social responsibility and actively encourage engagement in community service and impactful projects that empower our students to make a positive difference in their communities and beyond. Our ultimate objective is to establish CHS as a premier educational institution that employs a blended learning approach to develop individuals of influence, integrity, and moral rectitude.
CHS is committed to delivering educational excellence within conducive facilities and an enriching environment. We leverage advanced tools and programs, including Artificial Intelligence and other technologies to complement our instructional methods. Additionally, we integrate various technologies such as tablets, computers, e-books, and online resources to create interactive and engaging learning experiences for our students.
Through online conferences, webinars, and other digital platforms, we actively facilitate connections and interactions with the global community, providing our students with valuable exposure and experiences. Furthermore, our students have the opportunity to participate in educational programs and cultural exchanges abroad, particularly in the United States, enriching their educational journey and broadening their horizons. We plan to explore partnerships with U.S. institutions to facilitate seamless transitions for our graduates to pursue higher education opportunities.
At CHS, we embrace a student-centered approach, valuing the input and involvement of students and their families in shaping their educational journey. Collaboration between parents, students, and faculty fosters a supportive and inclusive community where every student can thrive. As part of our commitment to student well-being, we provide comprehensive healthcare services through onsite and telehealth visits, ensuring our students’ health needs are met effectively.
Our dedication to serving the community extends to supporting those in need through initiatives such as our community-focused fund, which provides assistance for healthcare and food security. We invite you to contribute to these efforts and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to you and your family to CHS – your new home and family. I am delighted to introduce you to our exceptional team of educators and the vibrant community of students who will accompany you on your journey at CHS and beyond.
At CHS, we are committed to providing a high-quality education that empowers students to realize their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society. We encourage our students to leave their mark on the school and the world around them. Once again, welcome to CHS – Akwaaba! We trust that you will find joy and fulfillment in your experience with us.
