The school was established in 1990 as a Pan-African school of academic excellence, educating SOS Children's Villages across Africa alongside students from Ghana, our host country. The college embraces internationalism in its widest sense, equipping learners to become compassionate, reflective individuals who are aware of their shared humanity and proud of their African identity. In 2025, SOS-HGIC celebrated 35 years of Pan-African education, a milestone that reflects both its rich legacy and its future. It is a full International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP).

The 2024 calendar lists a parent-teacher conference on January 12, 2024, and a Prospective Parents Forum on February 9, 2024.
