Datus Complex Schools Ltd was founded in 1962 and is a registered school by the Ministry of Education in Ghana, operating the Ghana National Curriculum and the International Curriculum of the IB and British Cambridge Curriculum. Datus International School is a wing of the Datus Complex Schools focusing on the IB and IGCSE curriculum. We opened our doors to only 12 pupils on June 12, 1962.
The school was founded to serve the needs of the children in the community of Accra and of those families who are attracted by the unique Bi-lingual character of the school and who share its philosophy and objectives.
