Accra Academy has qualified for the final stage of the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), marking the school’s first-ever appearance in the championship round, according to adomonline.com.
The team secured its place in the finals after a successful run through the competition’s earlier stages. Adomonline.com reports that Accra Academy’s qualification breaks a long-standing jinx for the school, which had previously never advanced this far in the national contest.
The path to the final included a semifinal victory over Bishop Herman College and U.P. SHS, as reported by Modern Ghana. That win propelled Accra Academy into the top tier of the competition, where it will now compete for the national title.
The NSMQ is one of Ghana’s most prestigious academic competitions, drawing top senior high schools from across the country each year. For Accra Academy, a school with a long history in the competition, reaching the final represents a significant milestone and a source of pride for its students and alumni.
Adomonline.com’s coverage highlights the breakthrough nature of this achievement, noting that the school had previously struggled to get past the semifinal hurdle. The exact details of the final matchup, including the date and opposing schools, have not yet been disclosed in the available reporting.
As the 2026 NSMQ finals approach, all eyes will be on Accra Academy to see if it can convert this historic qualification into its first national championship.
