The Presbyterian Secondary School, Osu was established in 1956 in one of the Old Basel Missionary Buildings at the foot of Kuku Hill of Osu. The motives of establishing the school are: 1. To offer Presbyterian Day Secondary education to children in Osu 2. To have a Secondary School at Osu in compensation for lack of a boarding school at Osu. It was seriously considered that the seat of the Basel Mission and Presbyterianism needed a higher school. The church and some individual educationists teamed up to establish the school with Mr. Cleland Armah as the first Headmaster of the school. In 1963, the school was absorbed into the public system under a new Headmaster Mr. McCarthy. He renovated the Old Basel Mission building into a school building accommodating two stream classrooms, library, administration office and science laboratories. The Church offered the present site (The New Site) for the school. At the moment, the school has only an eighteen (18) unit classroom block and three storey Science block which accommodates also the staff of the school. Currently, the school has benefited from the GetFund and new classroom blocks are being put up to accommodate the many students who continue to seek academic progress here.
It was to offer Presbyterian day secondary education to children whose parents could not afford the boarding fees of the sister school at Presbyterian Boys Senior Secondary school then located at Odumase – Krobo which was later moved to Legon. It was intended to have a secondary school at Osu in compensation for the lack of a boarding school at Osu. It was seriously considered that the seat of the Basel Mission and Presbyterianism needed a higher institution.
