Clubs & Co-Curricular Activities – Discover, Explore, Shine.

At Kampala Junior Academy, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our wide variety of clubs and co-curricular activities helps learners explore their talents, build new skills, and enjoy every part of school life. Whether your child enjoys sports, creativity, leadership, or academics — there’s something for everyone!

Celebrations and Special Days

We love to make school fun and memorable! At our Nursery and Primary levels, we celebrate children’s birthdays with joy. We also host exciting Cultural Days and Spirit Days like Jajjas Day, Academic Fair, and even “Wear Mommy or Daddy’s Clothes” Day! These fun events bring smiles, laughter, and a sense of belonging to our school family.

Weekly Morning Assemblies.

Every week begins with a school-wide morning assembly full of music, prayer, and positive energy. We share important announcements, go over the weekly agenda, and give children a chance to build confidence by leading songs, prayers, or short presentations.

The 4s Club – Celebrating Achievement.

Our reward system, the 4s Club, recognizes students who excel in academics, behavior, and participation. At the end of each term, members of the 4s Club are celebrated with a special party. It’s our way of saying, “Well done – keep shining!”.

Languages spoken (English + Chinese + Swahili or other).

At our school, we are proud to celebrate the diversity of languages spoken by both our staff and students. While English is the primary language used for teaching and communication, many of our teachers and children also speak a variety of local languages such as Luganda, Runyankore, Rukiga, Lusoga, Langi, and Acholi. Additionally, some staff members are fluent in French, Chinese and Swahili, further enriching our school community.

Student Leadership and Prefects.

We believe in nurturing leadership from a young age. Our primary section has a prefect body with posts such as Head Monitor, Head Girl, Head Boy, and class prefects. These student leaders help set a good example, assist in school duties, and represent their classmates with pride and responsibility.

From Classroom toCommunity

 Parent support groups or forums.

Our school is known for its warm and welcoming culture, especially in our Nursery and Primary sections. We value strong parent engagement and believe that a child’s learning journey is most successful when schools and families work together. To keep communication clear and consistent, we have active WhatsApp groups for each class, where we share important information, reminders, and updates. This helps us stay connected with parents and create a supportive environment for every child to thrive.

Scenic and Safe School Environment.

Najjanankumbi is a prime location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle. As you travel along serene Kaggwa Road off Kampala-Entebbe Road, just past Masanyalaze, you’ll find our Najjanankumbi campus nestled in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The calm surroundings and spacious grounds offer a safe, quiet place where children can explore, learn, and enjoy their school days. Easily reachable for families, this campus provides the perfect balance of accessibility and a serene environment for a thriving school community.

Our school prioritizes the safety and well-being of every child. We have a secure sign-in and sign-out system to ensure that only authorized individuals can pick up students, providing peace of mind for parents. Our campus is also monitored by security services, ensuring a safe and protected environment throughout the day. Additionally, the school is conveniently located near major hospitals and clinics, making it easy to access medical care in case of an emergency.

Campus Achievements.

At our school, we inspire students to challenge themselves and shine by taking part in competitions both at home and abroad. We proudly host chess grandmasters, who works closely with our young players to develop their skills. Our students actively compete in top events like the Annual National Mathematics Contest, NCBA Uganda Open, US Kids Golf, the National Junior Chess Championship, and the Africa Youth Chess Championship. Some of our talented chess enthusiasts even represent us at the FIDE World Youth Chess Championship, proudly showcasing their skills on the global stage. We are also honored to celebrate achievements beyond academics and sports, including our students’ participation in prestigious events such as Little Miss Universe, where they shine with confidence and grace.
