When do schools in Ghana re-open?
The key academic calendar dates for high schools in Ghana are usually only announced shortly before the school year begins.
The academic calendar is different for Ghana Senior High Schools, Ghana Junior High Schools, and Ghana Primary Schools.
For Senior High Schools, the calendar is even more complex: The academic calendar, thus the re-opening and semester recess calendar, in Ghana Senior High Schools depends on whether the selected Senior High School is a “Single Track SHS” or a “Double Track SHS”. For “Double Track SHS”, students can be on the “Gold Track” or the “Green Track”.
School opening periods for all types of Ghana High Schools are shown below.
First Term:
10 January – 20 April 2023
Break:
21 April -1 May 2023
Second Term:
2 May – 9 August 2023
Break:
10 August – 21 August 2023
Third Term:

For Single Track Senior High Schools the academic semester is the following:
SHS 1 Students:
- 20 January – 11 May 2023
- 5 June – 10 November 20232
SHS 2 Students:

SHS 3 Students:

There will be no Double Track for grade level, however, only a two-year group of the three cohorts of students will be in school at any time in 2023. Please use the single-track calendar as a result for your reference.
