Ce pensionnat, situé en milieu urbain du Ghana, recrute ses élèves parmi les groupes ethniques A kan et Ga-A dangme, qui résident principalement en ville et occupent un statut socio-économique élevé. L'auteur montre qu'en plus d'apprendre le contenu formel des programmes, les élèves sont soumises à une variété d'expériences informelles qui les socialisent à de nouveaux rôles reliés à l'éducation occidentale. Ces rôles sont ceux d'épouse d'un homme instruit, capable de bien tenir maison, et d'employée de bureau. Les aspects de la vie scolaire porteurs de ces leçons informelles sont l'organisation des cours de sciences domestiques, la disposition des lieux, le rythme de la vie scolaire, la hiérarchie et la division du travail parmi le personnel de l'école, enfin le modèle que constitue pour ces jeunes filles le professeur féminin
