Power and
Brilliancy.
Rational Academy has taught the children of Agbakope since 2018 — pre-school, primary and JHS, one stream at each level. Our crest carries the word Ephphatha: be opened. With 120 learners and 8 teachers, we can afford to mean it.

Our Core Values
Safe & Reliable School Bus Service
Rational Academy runs a transport service for learners travelling in from around Agbakope, so the journey to school is as safe as the day that follows it.
Making Every Journey Count
Transport is charged as part of our regular fees, so a place on the bus is simple to arrange. Talk to the office about the route nearest you.
Our crest isn't decoration.
It's the plan.
Power and Brilliancy is the motto on our banner, and Ephphatha — be opened — sits across the middle of the shield. Everything above them on the crest says how we get there.
Bottle caps make perfectly good counters when you need them to.
Ghana's Standards-Based Curriculum, taught from pre-school through to JHS with one stream at each level. Assessment is continuous and formative — we watch a learner work, not just how they finish.
Class tests, project work and an end-of-term assessment. We report a position and an overall average each term, plus a cumulative card at year end — brilliancy you can actually point at.
The word on our crest means “be opened”. With 120 learners and 8 teachers, a child is not a number here — and their cumulative record follows them through every year they spend with us.
We are a rural school and we teach with what is to hand — bottle caps for counting, charts on every wall, and a bus so that distance is never the reason a child misses school.
“Ephphatha — be opened.”
— Rational Academy, Agbakope, since 2018
How a year here runs
Three terms, assessment that runs the whole way through, and a record that keeps everything a learner has ever done with us.
The year opens. Class tests begin early and keep running, because assessment here is continuous and formative rather than saved up for one paper at the end.
Project work goes on the record alongside the tests — for learners who show what they know by making something, not only by writing it down.
The end-of-term assessment closes each of our three terms. Every report carries a position, an overall average and the class teacher's remark.
A cumulative record card covering the learner's whole history with us — not reset each year, so a JHS learner's pre-school record is still there.
Standards-based learning
that measures what matters.
Our curriculum follows the Standard-based curriculum of Ghana, making every child a global citizen and giving every learner the best we have to offer.
Clear Learning Objectives
Every lesson has measurable goals aligned with national standards.
Continuous Assessment
Regular progress tracking ensures no learner falls behind.
Differentiated Instruction
Teaching adapts to each learner's pace and learning style.
Standardized Benchmarks
Learners meet age-appropriate milestones recognized nationally.
Core Competencies
What a learner actually gets
The things that shape an ordinary week here, rather than the things that sound good on a brochure.
What makes Rational Academy special
We believe education is more than academics. Here's what shapes your learner's experience.
Celebrating Our Learners
A milestone moment for our learners — and for the eight teachers who got them there.
A Day to Remember
Gowns, kente and a certificate in every hand. Families, teachers and the community come out together — in Agbakope a graduation is a village occasion, not a school one.
The People Behind It
Eight teachers, 120 learners, one stream at each level. Small enough that every teacher knows every child by name — and knows which ones need watching this week.
Don't take our word for it.

“The class is small and his teacher knows him properly. When he was struggling with his reading we heard about it early, and they worked with him one on one until it clicked.”
“The bus is what made it possible for us. We are some way out, and before this getting her to school every day was the hardest part of the week. Now it is simply arranged with the fees.”
“We started her in pre-school and she can stay right through to JHS with teachers who already know her. Every term we get a report, and at the end of the year a card showing the whole picture.”
