About Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (PRESEC)
Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), located in Legon, Accra, Ghana, is a premier all-male boarding institution renowned for its academic excellence and rich heritage. Established on 1st February 1938 by the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast, the school has a storied history that reflects its commitment to nurturing young minds.
The inception of PRESEC can be attributed to the efforts of the Basel missionary-theologian, Nicholas Timothy Clerk (1862–1961), who served as the first Synod Clerk of the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast from 1918 to 1932. He advocated for the establishment of a secondary school to provide quality education grounded in Christian principles. Initially, the school was situated in Odumase-Krobo in the Eastern Region, utilizing the premises of the old Basel Mission residence. In 1968, it relocated to its current site in Legon, Accra, to accommodate a growing student population and expand its facilities.
