Kibuli Secondary School was established in 1945 as a Junior School, on the 80-acre land donated by the late Prince Badru Wasajja Kakungulu, with the major objective of educating Muslim children to redress the historical imbalance in Muslim education relative to other religious denominations.
The Foundation body is the Uganda Muslim Education Association (UMEA) and the land title is in the name of the Young Muslim Men’s Association.
In 1960 Kibuli Junior School was upgraded into secondary school education for both Muslims and non-Muslims. It started as a private school and in 1962 it became the Government. In 1968 it was upgraded to ‘A’ level status.
From 1968 to 1975 the United States government through USAID (the 1st and 2nd IDA projects) contributed immensely to the construction of the school’s infrastructure, for instance, the Administration block and Laboratories. Other facilities at the school were put up by the Agakhan Foundation, individual members and other parents through the Parents’ and Teachers’ Association.
Kibuli Secondary School is a co-educational boarding and government-aided secondary school. The school motto is: “Seek knowledge”. The Vision is: “To be a leading school of excellence in academics, sports and Islamic ethos.” The mission is: “To produce a morally educated individual with skills and knowledge for self and national development.” The core values are: God-fearing, Integrity, tolerance, adherence, and respect of person and property. The school
attracts students not only from Uganda, but even from neighbouring countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Somalia, and Sudan.
Our School charges a single comprehensive fee so that the parents can budget for the child’s education. The school doesn’t charge extra fees for any of the compulsory activities. The school provides an optional canteen facility. The below-mentioned fee does not include the cost of uniforms, books and transportation. The School does not provide these products/ services and parents are free to procure them from the open market.
