Who we are
Continuing the teaching ministry of Christ, for all
Cor Mariae was built by the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters to mark the golden jubilee of their fifty years of presence and mission in Ghana, and opened in August 2026. Its name means “Heart of Mary,” the heart that kept and pondered every word. We try to teach the same way: patiently, attentively and with love.
Our vision
What we are building
- A Catholic school of excellence that provides holistic education for all children of school-going age.
- A school that fosters in our children the values of humility, compassion, courtesy, sensitivity and responsibility.
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.John 10:10
