Who we are
Lincoln Community School is a non-profit international school in Accra offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum through a U.S. standards-based approach. Founded in 1968, we are recognised as one of the best schools in Ghana and as a leading IB school in Africa.
In 1968, six American families joined together to create Lincoln Community School. Some 55 years later, Lincoln Community School is an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programs through the lens of U.S. curricular standards and is recognised as a leading international school in Africa.

In keeping with our ethos as an American-style international school, LCS offers a rich extracurricular program that fosters a well-balanced lifestyle. LCS students frequently stay beyond the regular school day to enjoy our after-school activity programs, which not only bring us together but also help ensure that we keep “community” at the centre of Lincoln School.
As an international school in an increasingly cosmopolitan Accra, our students and faculty come from countries around the globe. With a student population of approximately 550, LCS boasts more than 60 nationalities among its community and over 70 languages spoken. Our faculty is also intentionally diverse to ensure that the demographic of our teachers reflects that of the student body.

The Akyԑdeԑ building opened in 2021
The school is embarking on a plan to redevelop the campus based on a master facilities plan approved by the Board of Trustees. In February 2021 we completed phase 1 of the master plan and moved into our new three-story elementary school building. The Akyԑdeԑ building and especially the library is the cornerstone of the Lincoln Community School campus.
The new building was intentionally designed to provide learning spaces which best represent what we believe about high quality teaching and learning. Planning is currently underway for the commencement of the second phase of redevelopment, which will include middle and high school classrooms.
