Inspiring Excellence with Values
Mother Providencia Catholic School, formerly known as Divine Providence School, was established in 2006 at East Legon as a Nursery School. Upon completion, students are typically transitioned to Mary Mother of Good Counsel School, Christ the King International School, or other sister schools managed by the Sisters of the Handmaids of the Divine Redeemer of the Accra Congregation.
In October 2006, Sr. Paula Otchere (HDR) was entrusted by the then Superior General, Brigid Agbenyo, to help establish a nursery school at East Legon, Accra,Together withSr. Victoria Depla and Miss Jennifer Kwakyiwaa, Divine Providence Nursery School began on the 16th January, 2007 with one class of thirty-one pupils.
In response to increasing enrollment, the school acquired a parcel of land at New Legon in 2015.
