 At
a time when rapid urban development eats at school spaces, Bishop
Cotton Boys School has kept its spacious playgrounds intact,
a rare sight in the heart of the city. The first time visitor
stops to gaze in amazement at the vast playing fields that flank
the path leading from the main gateway to the school building.
The classrooms and interiors are equally spacious, well planned
to allow plentiful fresh air and light. The splendid school
environs match the excellent academic standards that have been
consistently maintained - not surprising, considering the man
behind it all, a man with a mission - Dr
Ebenezer, the principal.
