Adisadel College is a 3-year boarding secondary school for boys. Adisadel was founded on January 4, 1910, by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (S. P. G.). The school was named S.P.G. Grammar School. In 1924, the name was changed to St. Nicholas Grammar School. When the school was relocated to its present location in early 1936 from Topp Yard to downtown Cape Coast, it assumed its current name, Adisadel College.
The school campus spreads above and below a hill that is rich with tropical ecological preserves. The lower campus, known as lower school or Katanga, is joined to the upper campus (upper school or Leopoldville) by a stairway that rises over 150 feet, the Katanga stairs, which are made up of 83 stairs, the same as the school’s post office box number.
The upper school, known as Leopoldville, is where the academic and administrative facilities are located, while the Katanga is where most of the houses or dormitories are located. It is where co-curricular activities take place since it contains the school’s field.
Most of the facilities on the campus were built by the pioneering students. Such self-reliant deeds have positively influenced the generation of students who pass through the school to amply give back to their alma mater.
