The Management of the school attributes the incredible performance by its IGCSE students this year to the Adinkrahene Leadership Program which begun in 2014 with this batch of IGCSE students being it’s first cohort.

The director of the program – Dr. Naomi Adjepong said ‘The Adinkrahene Leadership Program is a unique program run by Alpha Beta Christian College which seeks to consciously develop confident, creative and competent African leaders for the 21st century. The program runs alongside the Cambridge International Examination (CIE) curriculum to ensure that students gain the inspiration, knowledge, exposure and skills they need to succeed.’
