Our history

From a ministerial decision in 1988 to a national reference for GCE results

PSS Bafut was created on 11 August 1988 through Ministerial Decision No. 382/J1/7 and opened its doors on 29 October 1988 as a coeducational boarding secondary school. On 29 June 2004 it became a complete secondary and high school, authorised to prepare students for the GCE Advanced Level.

1988
Legally created on 11 August; teaching begins on 29 October as a coeducational boarding school.
2000

2004
Authorised on 29 June to open a Second Cycle. The first Advanced Level batch graduates in 2006 with 98.56%.
2014

2026
PSS Bafut is again described as operating in Bafut, active as GCE centre 11211 and rebuilding full school life.
Resilience

A story of courage

PSS Bafut's history is also a story of courage and resilience. The regional crisis brought attacks, displacement and a sharp decline in enrolment, but the school community refused to surrender its educational mission.

Through the determination of students, teachers, parents, the Presbyterian Church, alumni and community partners, teaching and learning continued under difficult conditions. A dormitory used by displaced students at PSS Mankon was rehabilitated in 2021 by Bafut Council, with new roofing, windows, ceilings, flooring, solar power and fire extinguishers.

PSS Bafut is led by a Principal appointed by the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon through the Presbyterian Education Authority, supported by vice principals, a chaplain, a bursar, a discipline office and the boarding staff.

Presbyterian identity

Faith at the centre of school life

PSS Bafut is owned by the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, whose mission is to proclaim the Good News of God through Jesus Christ in word and action — through preaching, teaching, healing and liberation. Worship follows the liturgy of the PCC.

Congregational worship, morning and evening devotion, Bible study, Sunday School, the Young Presbyterians, the Christian Youth Fellowship and the school choir develop faith, biblical knowledge, music, reading, communication, collaboration, mutual respect, honesty, equity, tolerance and leadership.
