WELCOME TO THE FOXES DEN

The College of West Africa is a United Methodist High School located on

144 Ashmun Street, Monrovia, Liberia.

The school was established in 1839 (as the "Monrovia Seminary"), making it one of the oldest Secondary schools in Africa. It has produced many of Liberia's bright and finest leaders. The College of West Africa's main building is named in memory of Melville B. Cox, the first Methodist missionary to Liberia. In 1904, by an act of the Liberian Legislature, the college was officially recognized and confirmed as the

College of West Africa.

The school is 100% owned and operated by the Liberian Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Its nickname is "The Foxes Den"
