Real Amass Alumni Association

 

Welcome To Real AMASS

Real Amass Alumni Association was formed in March 2007 as an amalgamation of all the alumni associations of T.I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School. It currently has chapters in the USA, UK and Ghana. The purpose of Real Amass Alumni Association as stated in its Constitution, is to promote the welfare of T.I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School and to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between the school and its alumnae. In addition to supporting developmental initiatives, Real Amass Alumni Association helps alumnae connect with fellow graduates through its website and alumni events around the world.

Establishment

Between 1948 and 1952, three secondary schools sprang up in the Ashanti Region, all of them sited in Kumasi, the Region’s capital. In order of seniority (that is, the date of establishment), these were Prempeh College, T. I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School and Opoku Ware. What made T. I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School different was that, while Prempeh and Opoku Ware were Christian mission schools. The school was founded by a Muslim organization, the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, now more popularly known in the country as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission. This was at a time when, rather regrettably, some Muslims thought that taking your child to the whitemans school was the surest way for the child to go to hell after death. To the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, however, setting up Whiteman’s school was in line with the Holy Quran’s teaching about the acquisition of knowledge.
