If you are looking at an international school in Cantonments area you are looking at fees of $10,000+ for the year. Accommodation can be anything from $3000-5000+ a month in the same area. You can find Indians living in all areas of Accra so I am sure you will find some neighbours.
Medical facilities are available and the costs depend on the type of treatment.

I gave you a figure for the costs at an international school. If you want to know about DPS then you need to contact their office as fees change and also depend on the age.
DPS is in Tema so if you are looking at accommodation in Cantonments you would also have to add transport fees.
