Teaching now
O-Level, Senior 1 and 2
Our founding classes. Students follow the national curriculum with daily academic support and pastoral care from house staff.
Academics
The national curriculum, taught like it matters
Every class at ECHS follows the Ugandan secondary curriculum and sits national exams on time. What we add is structure around it: prep twice a day, small classes, and teachers who chase the students who fall behind.
Where the school stands today
Opening later
O-Level, Senior 3 and 4
The senior phase of O-Level opens as our first cohort progresses. Planning is underway for classrooms and staff.
Opening later
A-Level, Senior 5 and 6
A-Level will give our students the option to complete their secondary education without leaving home.
Opening years for Senior 3 upwards will be published here as each cohort moves up. We do not announce a date until the school can keep it.
Prep
Two hours of prep, morning and evening
Teaching is only half of it. The other half is quiet, supervised study, with a teacher on duty when a question cannot wait until morning.

Curriculum
What students study
O-Level subjects follow the national syllabus: English, Mathematics, sciences, social studies and a range of electives chosen to keep doors open for A-Level and vocational routes after Senior 4.
Because we are young, subject combinations grow a step behind the student body. The current Senior 1 and 2 combinations are listed with the timetable each term, and parents are consulted before any elective is dropped or added.

Pastoral care runs through the houses: each student has a house patron, and no child's problem waits until morning. Sports, music and faith activities fill Saturdays.
