At Kampala Junior Academy, we believe education is more than just books — it’s about nurturing the whole child from early childhood education through primary school. We understand how important creativity and cultural awareness are in shaping young minds, and that’s why our preschool and primary programs shine as places where the arts and culture come alive.
Celebrating the Arts.
We know that the arts are a powerful way for children in early childhood education and beyond to express themselves, discover who they are, and grow emotionally. Our performing arts program gives every student—from nursery school through primary school—the chance to explore their creative side — whether it’s through music, drama, dance, or visual arts. We celebrate all kinds of artistic expression and encourage every child to find their own special voice.
Music: Finding Your Own Beat
In our music studios, students learn to play different instruments and appreciate the beauty of harmonies. From traditional songs to modern beats, our music lessons cover many styles so every child—from daycare, preschool, to primary school—can connect with sound and rhythm. With passionate teachers and group performances, students build not only musical talent but also teamwork and friendship.
Drama: Telling Stories and Building Confidence.
The stage is a place where stories come alive and confidence grows. Our MDD program helps students from early childhood education through primary school bring stories to life through acting, improvisation, and plays. Beyond performing, drama teaches children to communicate well, understand others, and be brave in sharing their ideas.
Dance: Moving with Culture and Joy.
Dance is a language everyone understands. Our dance program takes students on a journey through different styles—from traditional African dances to ballet and contemporary moves. Dance keeps children active while helping them appreciate the beauty of different cultures and traditions across all levels, including nursery school and primary levels.
Visual Arts: Bringing Imagination to Life.
In our art rooms, children from preschool to primary school explore painting, drawing, sculpture, and even digital design. They learn to see the world with fresh eyes and turn their ideas into real works of art. Creating art boosts their confidence and pride, as they express feelings and stories through colours and shapes.

Embracing Culture Together.
At Kampala Junior Academy, cultural understanding is part of everyday learning across all levels—from daycare and nursery school to primary school. Our curriculum includes cultural studies that open students’ eyes to the rich diversity of the world around them. Through cultural events, festivals, and exchange programs, students learn to respect and celebrate differences, building unity and harmony.
In short, Kampala Junior Academy is more than just a school — it’s a place where children grow fully, academically and creatively, through every stage of early childhood education to primary school. By focusing on the performing arts and culture, we prepare our students not only to succeed in school but also to shine as confident, creative, and culturally aware individuals ready to thrive in a connected world.
Our commitment to a well-rounded education means every child leaves us—from daycare, nursery school all the way to primary school—with the knowledge, skills, and character to face the future with courage and joy.
