Train Up A Child Nursery and Primary School
About
Curriculum: Uganda National Examinations Board Curriculum (UNEB)
Train Up A Child Nursery and Primary School is a private, Christian school group in Kampala offering Nursery through Primary Seven under the Uganda National Curriculum, preparing pupils for the Primary Leaving Examination. Founded in 1995 by Bishop Peter Mutebi and his wife Rebecca as a small nursery at their home in Bugolobi — starting with 51 children taught in the family’s servants’ quarters — it was registered as a full primary school with the Ministry of Education and Sports in 2003.
The group has since grown to three campuses — Bugolobi (headquarters), Najjanankumbi and Bunamwaya — and now includes a secondary school, Hillside High International, offering the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level curricula. The school describes its approach as combining “love, firmness, wisdom, and intention” in shaping “confident learners with strong character, discipline, and academic excellence.”
