In a moving and powerful address that left the audience stirred with pride and inspiration, Mrs. Ellen Antwiwaa Sarkodie, Director and Founder of Anell School of Excellence, delivered a clarion call for a new kind of education — one that transcends borders, breaks molds, and prepares children not just to pass exams, but to transform the world.
Quoting the iconic Nelson Mandela, Sarkodie opened Anell School’s 4th Graduation Ceremony with a resounding reminder: “Quality education is the most powerful weapon which can be used to change the world.” And true to that ethos, she unveiled Anell’s unwavering mission to produce globally conscious, morally grounded, and intellectually curious citizens.
The ceremony, graced by Nana Amponsah Kwaa IV, Chief of Atwima Kwanwoma, was more than a celebration — it was a launchpad for Anell’s next chapter.
In front of esteemed guests, proud parents, and a sea of radiant graduates, Mrs. Sarkodie announced the official launch of Anell’s new Lower Secondary (JHS) Block — a state-of-the-art facility designed to prepare Year 8–10 learners for the competitive global landscape.
“This is not just a building. It’s a declaration — that our children deserve world-class learning spaces, smart digital tools, and the confidence to thrive anywhere in the world,” Sarkodie declared to thunderous applause.
But the vision didn’t stop there.
In a passionate appeal to parents, Sarkodie emphasized that education cannot succeed without full parental engagement. She called on families to be more than spectators — to be active co-builders of character, resilience, and empathy.
“School alone is not enough. Children rise when home and school speak the same language, uphold the same values, and dream the same dreams.”
In a nod to holistic education, Sarkodie also highlighted new welfare initiatives, including a fully equipped sick bay and a modern cafeteria, both geared toward nurturing the physical and emotional well-being of every learner.
Throughout her speech, she championed Anell’s unique multicultural model, which blends international experiences, local values, and project-based learning to raise not just smart students, but versatile, culturally fluent leaders of tomorrow.
“Every child here today is a seed of promise. Our duty is to water that promise — with purpose, passion, and partnership,” she said.
The ceremony ended with standing ovations, proud tears, and a collective sense of hope — that in the heart of Ghana, a school is daring to dream big for its children, and is turning that dream into daily, purposeful reality.
Anell School of Excellence is not just producing graduates. It is raising the next generation of change-makers, one confident learner at a time.
