Our story
Nurturing excellence for greatness
Raphela Junior School is a private, Catholic-founded, mixed (boys and girls) primary day school located in Mulawa, Kira Municipality, Wakiso District. Registered in 2013, the school offers the Ugandan National Curriculum and enriches it with purposeful programmes that nurture disciplined, knowledgeable, confident, practical, and responsible learners in this diverse and ever-changing world.
At Raphela, we aspire to groom the next generation of young leaders by nurturing the “whole child.” We believe that every pupil has genius and that leadership can be developed in every child. For this reason, we provide a supportive environment where pupils are guided to discover their strengths, build character, grow in confidence, and enjoy a meaningful childhood as they learn.
Raphela provides a unique learning experience for children aged 2 to 13 years, combining strong academics with co-curricular opportunities that promote holistic development. Our teaching is child-centred and intellectually engaging, helping learners to develop academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Our objective is for every pupil to grow holistically through a progressive education programme that empowers them to succeed in school and in life.
