The academy' s founders provided tuition to students who wanted a secondary-grade education but who did not have financial support to enable them do so. Dr. Kofi Konuah periodically travelled to some of the major towns in each region of the country to organise entrance examinations for students, so as to offer the brilliant but needy among them the opportunity to enroll in Accra Academy.
Accra Academy was founded on Monday 20th July, 1931 by four young men namely, DR. K.G. Konuah, G. N. Alema, James Acquaye, Halm-Addo and Samuel N. Awuletey

Accra Academy Anthem
You have built nations of men!
You will make great men of them!
Generation of scholars salute you;
Black and grey acknowledge you.
A life-time of feeding,
In thought, in words, and deed.
Chorus:
Esse quan Videri! 3x
True the spirit we live
Grasp the substance!
Leave the shadow!
Then onward to the truth.
Esse quan Videri - Our great family!
