The edifice was awarded to the contractor for work to commence in the year 2020 with initial funding from the MP's Common Fund allocation, during her tenure as a legislator, and continued to completion with financial support from the Wassa Hemaa Foundation.

The facility comprises two spacious classrooms with ceiling fans, whiteboards, teacher's desks with chairs, modern child-size furniture, a head teacher's office, a storeroom, a lavatory and a fenced playground equipped with merry-go-round, flying swing, rocking horses and slides for outdoor activities.
