Celebrating Founders’ Day at Tower Hamlets International School
At Tower Hamlets International School, we believe in the power of history, legacy, and vision. Founders’ Day is more than just a date on the calendar — it is a moment of reflection, gratitude, and inspiration as we remember the bold visionaries whose sacrifices laid the foundation for the Ghana we proudly call home.
On this special day, we join the nation in honoring Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first President, and the many leaders who championed independence and paved the way for freedom, education, and progress. Their courage reminds us that true leadership is born out of service, and true greatness comes from selfless sacrifice.
Why Founders’ Day Matters to Us as a School
Founders’ Day is not just about looking back, but about looking forward with determination. For our learners, this celebration is a reminder that they, too, can shape the future through discipline, creativity, and knowledge. It is a call to dream bigger, to work harder, and to carry the torch of excellence and leadership into the generations ahead.
At Tower Hamlets International School, our vision is to nurture tomorrow’s leaders — children grounded in both academic excellence and strong moral values. We are inspired by the spirit of resilience and innovation that drove Ghana’s independence, and we seek to instill that same spirit in our students every day.
A Legacy of Excellence and Faith
As we reflect on the sacrifices of our founding leaders, we are reminded of the words of Scripture: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). It is our firm belief that through faith, wisdom, and learning, our students will not only succeed but also make a lasting impact on society.
Looking Ahead
Today, as we celebrate Founders’ Day, we recommit ourselves to the mission of Tower Hamlets International School — to inspire, to educate, and to build. May this day ignite in all of us a passion for excellence, service, and leadership.
Happy Founders’ Day from all of us at Tower Hamlets International School!
