About the chapter

The OAA ’97 Europe Chapter brings together members of the Achimota School class of 1997 living in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. We are part of the wider Old Achimotan Association and its global ’97 year group community.

What we do

We meet, we celebrate, and we give back. That means regular reunions and family days, supporting one another through life’s milestones, and organising fundraising for projects at Achimota School and initiatives within the year group.

Our motto

Ut omnes unum sint — that all may be one. Achimota’s founding vision of harmony, symbolised by the black and white keys of the piano, remains at the heart of everything we do.
