About Us
Our History
Sunset Montessori School was founded in 2004 by our Proprietress, Mrs. Gladys Boamah-Duku, with a singular vision: to provide quality education and shape young minds. Over two decades, our school has grown from humble beginnings into a beacon of academic excellence and a hub of creative expression.
Our school's history is woven with countless stories of achievement and growth. We've witnessed students blossom into confident, compassionate, and curious individuals, equipped to make a positive impact. Over the years, we have expanded our programs from preschool to Junior High School, continuously adapting to enhance the learning experience.
We are proud of our legacy and look forward to the next chapter in our school's journey, knowing that together, we'll continue to inspire, educate, and empower generations to come.
