About ISSAG

The International Schools Sports Association of Ghana (ISSAG) is a sports body for Ghanaian schools running various International Curricular. Among other development goals, ISSAG aims to contribute to holistic development of youth, through the principles of fierce competition, fair play, team spirit and positive relationships.

We stand as a beacon for promoting sports excellence and holistic youth development within the Ghanaian education landscape. With a rich history spanning over a decade and half, ISSAG has evolved into a vital platform nurturing talent and instilling values of sportsmanship among Ghanaian youth. As we embark on our mission to further elevate sports education, we extend an invitation to esteemed third party firms to join hands with us in this quest to improve the lot of our young ones.

At the heart of ISSAG’s ethos lies a commitment to fostering holistic development by blending sports excellence with academic success. Our vision transcends conventional sports programs; we aspire to cultivate well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills and values necessary for success both on and off the field.

The Association which started in 2005 with a handful of schools, has since grown into the biggest sports organization for private schools in the country.
