P rempeh College, a public secondary boarding school for boys, is located in Kumasi, the capital city of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The school was founded in 1949 by the Asanteman traditional authority, the British Colonial Government, the Methodist Church Ghana, and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. The school is named after the King of Ashanti (Asantehene), Sir Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, who donated the land on which the school was built. It was modeled after Eton College in England, with the goal of providing quality education to boys in the region. In the early 1940s, the British Colonial Government invited the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, which had already established schools in the Southern zone, to help set up a school in the middle belt of Ghana. This was to serve the northern sector of the country, which had a great need for educational institutions. Although there were some delays due to the Second World War, Prempeh College was designed in 1948 by British modernist architects Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew. Compared to other works by Jane Drew in the Ashanti region, Prempeh College campus was designed to incorporate modernist refinements, as described by Lain Jackson and Jessica Holland in their book titled “The Architecture of Edwin Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew: Twentieth Century Pioneer Modernism and the Tropics.”  5, 1949.
