Nakasero Senior School

About

Curriculum: Uganda National Examinations Board Curriculum (UNEB)

Nakasero Senior School is a private, non-denominational, mixed secondary school on Kabaka Anjagala Road in the Mengo/Rubaga area of Kampala, offering both O-Level and A-Level education under the UNEB curriculum, with day and boarding places available. The school has been recognised for an early and unusually deliberate embrace of technology in the classroom: it has allowed Senior One and Two students to carry smartphones into supervised lessons since 2020, ahead of most Ugandan schools, as part of implementing the country’s revised, more hands-on lower secondary curriculum.

Under former headteacher Lawrence Kaddu Kasibante, the school described the policy candidly as managing a “necessary evil” — phones are registered and deposited with school administration and issued only for supervised lesson use — and its Director of Studies, Godfrey Mubiru, has said the goal was to support “learner-centred, hands-on” teaching under the new curriculum.

Nakasero Senior School Academics

The school offers science combinations (including Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics and Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics) and arts combinations at A-Level, alongside the standard O-Level programme. In February 2025, the school hosted the launch of Good Neighbors Uganda’s Global Citizenship Education Program, with 90 students taking part.

Nakasero Senior School Alumni
