Frequently asked questions

Protestant schools, answered.

Which schools count as "Protestant" on Praecip?

We use Protestant as a broad family that includes Anglican (Church of Uganda), Pentecostal, Born-again, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Adventist-founded schools. King's College Budo, Gayaza High School, Mengo SS, Nabumali HS, Mvara SS, Kigezi HS and Duhaga SS are among the historic Anglican-founded institutions in this group.

What's the difference between Anglican and other Protestant schools?

Anglican schools are owned or sponsored by the Church of Uganda, the country's largest Protestant denomination, and are typically older mission-era foundations now run as government-aided schools. Pentecostal and Born-again schools tend to be newer and private, founded by individual congregations or church networks since the 1990s.

Are Protestant schools open to learners of other faiths?

Almost universally yes. Christian Religious Education (CRE) and chapel services form part of school life and learners are expected to participate, but admission isn't restricted by denomination or faith. Many of the historic Anglican schools have substantial Catholic and Muslim enrolment.

Are Anglican mission schools government-aided?

Most of the historic ones are, built on Church of Uganda land with the Diocese retaining founding-body rights, but funded through the Ministry of Education. The Diocese typically appoints the chaplain and a chair of the Board of Governors; tuition policy is set through the government framework.
