Our  Educational Philosophy

Stretching 100+ Years

The Humble Start 

Mother Kevin championed girl-child education in Uganda by founding Sancta Maria Primary Teachers' College in 1926, the country’s first English-speaking PTC for women. She trained the Little Sisters of St. Francis as educators, leading to the establishment of schools like St. Therese Namagunga(1936), St. Agnes Nagalama (1938) and others.

Mother Kevin Kearney

Mother Kevin Kearney arrived in Uganda over a century ago(1903), led by a mission to uplift souls in need. She founded the Little Sisters of St. Francis, a congregation devoted to education, compassion, and service, with a heartfelt commitment to nurturing girls with holistic education.

Our Education Tradition

The educational tradition of the Little Sisters of St. Francis is a rich tapestry of Faith, discipline, and holistic development. It focuses on nurturing the whole person—spirit, mind, and body—nurturing  young girls, to thrive academically and socially while staying true to holistic values imparted.

The Need

Namagunga Mother Campus (St. Therese Namagunga Primary Boarding School), established in 1936, has long been a beacon of Catholic education, emphasizing discipline and moral integrity. To meet the growing demand for accessible education for girls, Namagunga Primary School-Kitende was started.
