Teamwork.

We work as a team to achieve our goals, which means we respect, trust, support, and communicate openly with each other. We value the voices of every team member.

Ethical Practices.

We comply with laws and regulations, and we seek the interest of the larger society. We support our students and employees in doing the right thing.

Innovative
Curriculum.

We have created, for every subject and every level, lesson plans, workbooks, digital content, and intensive training so that our teachers can teach consistently at a higher level than in other schools. 

Continual
Improvement.

We are continuously seeking to improve both what we do and how we do it. We hold ourselves to a high standard of conduct and performance. We set goals as an organisation and as professionals and support each other in reaching those goals. We give and receive feedback, and constantly work to improve our performance as individuals and as an organization.

Mission
First.

Omega is a for-purpose business focused on a social mission to empower the aspirations of low income families and their communities. We have deep respect and responsibility towards all our stakeholders – the children, parents, teachers and the communities where we work.

Leveraging
Scale.

Our business model leverages scale, reducing costs to a level that can dramatically extend access and improve quality.

Daily Fees.

No hidden fees! We provide an all-inclusive daily fee (of about 75 US cents) including tuition, hot lunch, a set of workbooks, two sets of uniforms, mid and end of term assessment, and health insurance. Our daily fee is equivalent to the out-of-pocket cost of sending a child to a ‘free’ government school in Ghana.

Every Cedi
Counts.

We know parents make daily sacrifices to send their children to our schools and therefore strive to offer the best value education in West Africa.
