Welcome to our Website which unfolds to you the intricate richness of Maryhill High School, an all-girls education centre, where learning is self-knowing and self-development of each ‘girl child’ who passes through the hands of this all-embracing and loving mother school.
Learning at Maryhill High School gives the child the five pillars of what education should give: Confidence, Competence, Creativity, Knowledge and Good Character.
Tribute goes to the founders of the school, who were far sited in taking a daring step to start a school where only girls were to be educated. It is common knowledge that traditionally formal education did not favour women (girls) so the opening of Maryhill High School was and is still a challenge to traditional beliefs on women’s education.
The sole objective of the Academic department is to achieve 100% performance by developing a positive attitude towards the teaching-learning process for both the staff and students.
For the above reason, therefore, Maryhill has continuously provided for staff development in both teaching methods which comply with the challenges of the 21st century, which could be termed as the digital era.
Our library is well stocked with all books to enable students to do their private reading and revision in a quiet atmosphere. This environment enables our students to concentrate and allows them to compare text notes with class notes to get a clear understanding of the subject/topic their reading/revising.
Maryhill High School instills discipline, positive attitude and innovativeness in the students and this has led to good performance. It has also helped the students to “learn to say no to good things so that they can have a chance to say yes to better things” as John Maxwell said. Irrespective of how nice sleep can be, students have to wake up and read books.
Maryhill staff and students have been equipped with computer skills and the school is hooked on the Internet where vast knowledge can be obtained in microseconds.
Because of its unique and competitive academic environment, Maryhill stood out of the crowd and Cyber School Uganda, in partnership with the Ministry of Education was made a regional training centre for training teachers how to use Science and Mathematics software, which displays animated scientific concepts that make it easy for the 21st Century student to conceptualize Science and Mathematics.
We have various departments that carry out daily tasks to ensure the smooth running of the school and to achieve the greater goals for all our students. Our curriculum does not only stop at what is taught in class, but we also have many other off-class activities that help students to take the best options in life.
We also have other several trainings to equip the students with the technological advancements. Like CNNA or Cisco to help the students appreciate the value of technology.
