Legacy Girls’ College follows the Ghana National Curriculum (GNC) and the British curriculum. The three-year senior high school (SHS) curriculum offers general education, with electives in General Science, Arts, and Business, options for entry into tertiary institutions (universities or polytechnics) or the job market.

The core subjects are English, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and ICT. In addition to the core subjects at the SHS, every school candidate must offer one of the following course programs: Business or General (Arts or Science).

The SHS curriculum is complemented by educational services such as reliable Library and Information Access and Guidance and Counseling. There is greater emphasis on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Science Technology, Special needs Education and Hands-on Experiential Learning.
