Our Flagship Program
About Rukundo Prep
We opened our doors in February 2018 with nursery school students ages 3–5, believing that early intervention can have a lifelong impact on a child’s future. Our nursery school consists of three classes: Baby Class (3 years old), Middle Class (4 years old), and Top Class (5 years old).
In 2019, we launched Rukundo Preparatory School’s primary (elementary) section with a Primary 1 (P1/1st grade) class. Over the following years, we continued expanding one grade level at a time, and in 2026, we proudly reached Primary 7 (P7/7th grade), the final year of primary school in Uganda. This milestone means our first cohort of students can now complete their full primary education at RPS, a major achievement for both our school and the surrounding community.

Teacher spotlight
“I would like to change the nation by making education available to everyone. I have helped my students to learn how to read, write, and how to speak English. This makes me very proud and helps our school to get recognition in the community. To work in the field of education, you must love your job and the people surrounding you. When the kids are treated well, it is easier to bond with them. Apart from classwork, I also like to teach kids how to behave better. I dream that our school will keep growing and one day we will have a second building to accommodate more students.”

What We Need
We must continue to fundraise to build a computer lab, a library, and a multipurpose hall for our primary school. We also need to add a busing service for our students and construct permanent boarding facilities.
The best way for us to do this is to recruit 23 more monthly $1 per day donors to meet the school’s operating budget.
Success Story
“Rukundo International is the best school. They know how to care for children, and the buildings are modern. We are still constructing some classrooms in the primary building, but so far, it’s the best school in the District.”
