Stann Creek Ecumenical High School first opened its doors in September 1974. This ended denominational separation in secondary education, for Stann Creek Ecumenical High School (Ecumenical) was the product of the amalgamation of the former Stann Creek High School (Anglican) and Austin High School (Catholic). An Ecumenical Commission, consisting of the heads of three major religious denominations — Catholic, Anglican, and Methodist — oversaw the early growth of the institution into a regional center of learning, serving the entire Stann Creek District and beyond. By 1983, the Ecumenical Commission requested the Ministry of Education to assume responsibility for the institution. In response to this request, a new Board of Governors was appointed.[ citation needed ]
In 1986, a Sixth Form Division was established at the request of the Ministry of Education. This division's first emphasis was on Business Studies, but gradual expansion added General Studies, Primary Education, Tourism, Business Science, and Art/Science programs.

Furthermore, in response to the community's need for secondary level extension services, Evening Sessions of the Secondary School Division commenced in September 2001. Two years later, the needs and growth of the secondary and tertiary divisions warranted their separation into autonomous entities still under the direction of the Board of Governors. Consequently, in September 2003, the Junior College, headed by a Dean, was officially separated from the High School, which was headed by a principal. In June 2008, the Junior College was given its own Board of Governors, thereby completing the process of separating the High School from the Junior College.[ citation needed ]

Education in Ghana uses a dualistic approach encompassing both formal and informal learning systems. The current formal educational system was introduced during European colonisation. However, learning systems existed prior to that. The University of Moliyili is one of the earliest learning centers in Ghana established in the 1700s. During colonisation, European settlers initially introduced a formal education system addressed to the elites, while education of the average citizen was mainly informal, and based on apprenticeship. Economic activities in pre-colonial Ghana were based on farm produce shared within households and members of each household specialized in providing necessities such as cooking utilities, shelter, clothing, and furniture, and trade with other households was therefore practiced on a very small scale. As such there was no need for employment outside the household that would have otherwise called for disciplines, values, and skills through a formal education system. After colonization, Ghana's economy became a hybrid of subsistence and formal economy.
