As a Presbyterian institution, the school’s religious practices are based on Presbyterian traditions. However, there is no discrimination against non-Presbyterians in the school’s admission policy. It is expected, however, that all students will take full part in the religious activities of the school and conform to accepted moral standards and codes of behavior. The school expects the full support and co-operation of parents and guardians in the achievement of these objectives.

Bepow So Hann
"Bepow So Hann" (sometimes written Bepo So Hann) is the motto of the Aburi Girls Senior High School (ABUGISS), meaning "Light on the Hill," reflecting the school's location on the Akuapem mountains and its goal to be a guiding beacon of excellence, often paired with "Nyame ne Hene" (God is King). It signifies shining brightly as a light for others, a core value for the school and its alumnae.

A Message from the Headmistress
My dear Aburi Girls, Esteemed Staff, Proud Parents, and Beloved Alumnae, it is with a heart full of immense pride and hope that I address you today.
