SOS Schools: Freetown Primary and Secondary School

The combined SOS Primary and Secondary School opened in 1976. It has a total intake of about 850 pupils. It had been a school for 550 pupils but in 2004 the school introduced a so-called double-shift system to help meet the demand for education in Freeown. There is also an SOS Nursery School which used to be for about 190 children and in 2004 increased to over 340 children by using the double-shift system.
