The Ghana-Lebanon Islamic Secondary School (GLISS) is a privately owned institution consisting of:

  1. Primary School
  2. Junior High School (JHS)
  3. Senior High School (SHS)
  4. Arabic Studies Unit (ASU)

GLISS was founded in January, 2001 and commissioned on May 19, 2001. It is owned and patronized by a local Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) called the Ghana Society for Islamic Education and Reformation (GSIER). The school was established in pursuance of the society's objective to provide quality education and excellent moral training and discipline to the Muslim youth in Ghana.

GLISS currently has a total student population of over seven six hundred (700).

The admission policy at GLISS is totally non-discriminatory in terms of religion, gender or nationality. About sixty percent (60%) of the students population are girls and close to thirty (30%) of the population are Christians. within the brief seven-year period of its existence the school has built an enviable reputation for itself in academic excellence and student discipline. this is evidenced by the fairly large number of our past students in tertiary institutions in the and outside the country.

Its also pertinent to mention that the school is a non profit making institution, the fees are therefore relatively moderate. Most brilliant but needy students of the school are on scholarships financed by the school and few philanthropists and organizations.

The GSIER established GLISS as its contribution to the educational empowerment in Muslim communities. Other schools established and run by GSIER are the Madina Islamic School, Arayan International school and Islamic Teacher Training Institute, all in Accra.
