Mfantsipim School Detailed Campus Tour. Beautiful Buildings at BOTWE.

Mfantsipim School is an all-boys boarding secondary school in Cape Coast, Ghana, established by the Methodist Church in 1876 to foster intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth on the then Gold Coast. Its founding name was Wesleyan High School and the first headmaster was James Picot, a French scholar, who was only 18 years old on his appointment.

Mfantsipim is nicknamed "The School" by its old boys for the fact that several other schools in Ghana such as Prempeh College and Ghana National College were born out of it, as these schools were started with students from Mfantsipim School.

Alumni of the school include Kofi Annan, 2001 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former Secretary-General of the United Nations; Kofi Abrefa Busia, former Prime Minister of Ghana; Joseph W. S. de Graft-Johnson, academic, engineer and former Vice President of Ghana; Kobina Sekyi, writer, playwright, and lawyer; J. E. Casely Hayford, journalist and politician; and Alex Quaison-Sackey, diplomat, first black president of the UN General Assembly; Kow Nkensen Arkaah, former Vice President of the Republic of Ghana; Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, former Vice President of Ghana; Mohamed Ibn Chambas, former president of ECOWAS commission; Kobina Arku Korsah, first Chief Justice of Ghana.
