About

Curriculum:

Circle of Peace Nursery and Primary School is a family-run urban school that educates about 200 students from nursery through Grade 7. Classes are taught in English.

Both Christian and Muslim children attend the School, which is open to to people of all faiths. Despite meager conditions, the school produces the highest-testing and most well-behaved students in the area.

The mission of Peace School is to educate students of limited resources through balanced academic and social pursuits, thereby nurturing reverent, hardworking, and disciplined individuals.

The School serves students whose families cannot afford to send them to public schools. Some of Peace School’s students are orphans whose parents have died of AIDS. Without the school, these children would have no one to care for them. The School provides for all their needs: housing, food, clothing, medical care, emotional support.

Facilities

There is a boy’s dormitory and a girl’s dormitory at the school where the orphans and some other students reside. Most children commute from home.

The School is supported by the selfless giving of the Bbaale family. Besides Amina Bbaale, the family matriarch, there are six sisters and four brothers, all of whom either work at the school or support it financially. Many nieces, nephews and cousins are also involved.

Families of school children contribute what little they can to their children’s education. The School earns operating funds by raising poultry. Children assist in gathering and selling eggs. At certain times of the year, chickens are also butchered and sold.
