The 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) grand finale will feature Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC‑Legon), St Augustine’s College and Accra Academy on September 10. Each school earned its spot after intense semi‑final battles that saw them overcome formidable opponents.
St Augustine’s College secured its place by defeating five‑time champions Prempeh College, 2001 winners Pope John Senior High School and Minor Seminary. The two‑time champions now aim for a third title, having previously won in 2007 and 2019.
PRESEC‑Legon, the record holders with eight trophies, clinched their berth after a commanding win over St John’s School and Tamale Senior High School. The ‘Ɔdadeɛ’ boys now chase an unprecedented ninth championship.
Accra Academy earned its maiden grand‑final appearance by overcoming Achimota School and Bright Senior High School. The ‘Blɛoo’ boys now have the chance to claim their first NSMQ trophy.
The final showdown promises a clash of histories and ambitions: PRESEC‑Legon seeks to cement its legacy, St Augustine’s College aims for a third crown, and Accra Academy pursues a fairy‑tale triumph. The event will be produced by Primetime Limited and broadcast on JoyNews, with sponsorship from the Ghana Education Service, GOIL PLC, Prudential Life Insurance Ghana and others.
Fans and scholars alike will watch to see whether the record holders extend their dominance or if Accra Academy writes a new chapter in NSMQ history.
