About

Curriculum:

Makerere High School-Migadde, is a traditional Ugandan secondary school located in a serene semi-rural environment, 25 km from Kampala City along the Kampala–Gulu Highway. Established originally as Pillai’s High School in 1939, it was renamed Makerere High School in 1976 and later extended into a boarding section known as Migadde College in 1998. In 2007, the school fully merged and relocated to its expansive 300-acre campus at Migadde, adopting its current name — Makerere High School, Migadde. The school provides a peaceful, academic-focused environment ideal for both local and international students.
