I think its pretty clear-cut. Both articles are on the same subject; it's just a matter of actually merging them. Daniel J Simanek (talk) 08:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In fact they both are same. I am redirecting it. The info here are more unencyclopedic than useful. Hitro talk 19:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just want to say that I feel the background information section for this article is very important as its gives the history of the school, thus before I restore this column I would want a discussion on it. Probably within 72hrs I might re include the section to the article if there is no response. Ontoyinsimon (talk) 09:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I think this article should be renamed from Accra Academy Senior High School to just Accra Academy. This is because the school is an Academy and it operates with the status of a senior secondary school. Bureaucrats should please help correct this.Ontoyinsimon (talk) 02:43, October,20, 2010 (GMT).

This does appear to be the proper name, and the added "Senior High School" seems not only redundant but in naming of Ghanaian schools, the name of two different (and mutually exclusive) institution types run together.

Per the request, I'm going to make the move, especially since this was proposed here 10 days ago and no one seems to object.

Also, here are some independent references which can be properly formatted and added to this article, as it relies too much on non-independent sources (just the Alumni Association). Wikipedia tends to demand independent, published sources (books, newspapers). There are innumerable references in the Ghanaian press to Accra Academy, so this should be no problem.

Here are a few:
