Cornerstone Primary School Academics

Cornerstone Junior School follows the Uganda Primary School Curriculum for Primary 1 to 7, complemented by a uniquely designed Nursery Curriculum aligned with the NCDC Learning Framework for children aged 2.7 to 6 years. Our primary curriculum fosters confidence, self-esteem, talent exploration, language development, thinking, motor skills, social skills, and a positive attitude toward learning and work. The nursery section, ranked number one in Mukono District for its quality education and care, includes Baby Class (Baby Green for ages 2.7–3, Baby Yellow for age 4, Baby Blue for above 4), Middle Class, and Top Class, with each class supported by two qualified teachers trained in early childhood education.

Our curriculum, enriched by years of collaboration with teachers and external facilitators, ensures social, spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional, and physical development. Assessments include beginning-of-term, fortnightly, midterm, and end-of-term tests, alongside weekly assignments and homework to reinforce learning. Academic board meetings, held thrice per term, analyze performance, while study trips and educational programs instill knowledge and life skills. Our well-stocked library encourages a reading culture, with students borrowing readers each term to enhance literacy.
