Raphela Junior School — Nurture Excellence for Greatness

Academics

Unique Programmes

The school operates the Ugandan national curriculum; however, the integration of unique special programmes enables us to offer a balanced hybrid curriculum.

Special programmes

Six programmes woven through the curriculum

Abacus Mental Maths and Brain Development

The Abacus Maths and Mental Arithmetic programme enables overall brain development of a child’s mental abilities. The course is scientifically developed with a highly structured programme, which cultivates our children’s critical thinking.

Leader in Me

Leader in Me is an evidence-based, whole-school improvement model — developed in partnership with educators — that empowers pupils with the leadership and life skills that are essential in the 21st century.

Growth Mindset

In a fixed mindset, students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence and their talents are just fixed traits. In a growth mindset, students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence.

Reading for Life series

Reading is promoted as an enjoyable activity and a life skill. Our reading programme develops positive attitudes towards reading so that it is a pleasurable and meaningful activity, and makes reading skills an integral part of learning across the curriculum. We use the advanced reading programme from the ages of 3 to 11 years and have developed strategies for approaching reading — ultimately growing vocabulary and comprehension skills among our learners.

Social Graces

As we aspire to be a school that brings out the best academic and moral character in every child, we are concerned about instilling discipline the right way — free of abuse and intimidation.

Advanced Phonic Reading Programme

Through the Phonics Reading programme, our children learn how to decode letters into their respective sounds — a skill that is essential for them to read unfamiliar words by themselves. The programme teaches children the sounds made by individual letters or letter groups.
