FGIS is recognized as one of the most outstanding schools in the Upper East Region of Ghana and Ghana as a whole.
Founded on Tuesday, September 7, 1999 under the visionary leadership of Rev. Eastwood and Rosemond Anaba, FGIS was established to meet a felt need for a high quality, carefully structured and above all Christ centered foundation in education in the Upper East Region of Ghana.
