About Nesville
Nine years of building children who are ready for the world.
Founded in Tamale on 7th September 2017. One proprietor. One standard. 700+ families who trusted Nesville first.
Who we are
What Nesville Montessori School is, and what it is not.
Nesville was built in Jakariyilli, Tamale, to give children in Northern Ghana access to a method of education that develops their full person — not just their ability to pass exams.
From creche through Junior High School, every programme at Nesville is designed around one belief: that children who learn to think independently, work collaboratively, and develop confidence will be ready for whatever the world puts in front of them.
The Montessori method provides the foundation. Ghana Education Service alignment provides the pathway. Nine years of consistent operation provides the proof.
What we stand for

Founder & proprietor
Meet Mrs. Vanessa Mends.
Mrs. Vanessa Mends started Nesville Montessori School on 7th September 2017 with a specific conviction: that children in Tamale deserved an education built around them as individuals.
Nine years later, over 700 families have trusted Nesville with their most important investment. Mrs. Vanessa personally oversees academic standards, staff development, and the parent experience.
That is not a promise made in a brochure. It is how Nesville operates, daily.
