Accra, Ghana – Galaxy International School is proud to celebrate an extraordinary milestone as Nana Kwaku Amoakoh Oduro Mensah, affectionately known as "Bio", was named the Overall Best A Level Student in Ghana at the prestigious British Council Partner Schools Awards 2025. The school was also recognized as the Best A Level School, marking a historic achievement for both the institution and the nation.



A Journey of Excellence

Bio's remarkable journey with Galaxy International School began when he earned a 100% academic scholarship through the school's annual scholarship examination. Joining the school with determination and exceptional academic potential, he quickly distinguished himself as one of Ghana's brightest young scholars.

During his IGCSE studies, Bio achieved national recognition by becoming Ghana's top scorer in nine Cambridge IGCSE subjects. He has now made history once again by recording the highest marks in four Cambridge A Level subjects, earning the title of Overall Best A Level Student in Ghana.

A Victory Shared by Many

Reflecting on his achievement, Bio expressed deep gratitude to everyone who supported his journey.

"When my name was announced, the first thing I said was, 'Thank you, God.' This achievement belongs not only to me but also to my father, my mentors, my friends, and the entire Galaxy International School family. Their investment in me has truly borne fruit."

The Power of Opportunity

Bio recalls that receiving a scholarship to Galaxy International School was a life-changing opportunity. Instead of receiving a tablet he had hoped for, his father surprised him by registering him for the Galaxy Scholarship Examination a decision that would transform his future.

He describes joining Galaxy as a dream come true, motivated by the school's growing reputation for academic excellence and student success.


A Learning Environment That Inspires Success

According to Bio, Galaxy International School provided more than excellent teaching—it created an environment where students are trusted, challenged, and supported.

He praised the school's dedicated teachers for their guidance, accessibility, and willingness to work alongside students throughout the demanding A Level programme. Their flexible and student-centred approach enabled him to learn independently while always having expert support when needed.

The Impact of Boarding Life

Bio also credits the Galaxy Boarding House for playing a significant role in his success.

Living on campus allowed him to maximize study time in a focused academic environment while enjoying meaningful friendships, extracurricular activities, and mentorship from boarding supervisors. He often studied late into the night, sometimes remaining in the prep room until 2:00 a.m., demonstrating the commitment that ultimately led to his outstanding results.

Investing in Future Leaders

Galaxy International School believes that scholarships are not simply financial assistance—they are investments in future leaders. Bio's story is a powerful example of what can be achieved when talent meets opportunity, dedication, and the right educational environment.

His historic achievement reinforces Galaxy International School's commitment to nurturing academic excellence, leadership, and global competitiveness through its internationally recognized Cambridge programmes.

As Bio prepares for the next chapter of his academic journey, the entire Galaxy community celebrates his remarkable accomplishments and wishes him continued success.

Congratulations, Nana Kwaku Amoakoh Oduro Mensah ("Bio"). Your success continues to inspire future generations of Galaxy students and the entire nation of Ghana.
