HOPE Schools
COME Uganda has a passion to see its students grow up in a Christ-centred environment where they can be nurtured in their faith and given a quality education so that they can reach their full potential. COME operates Nursery and Primary schools in 3 regions of Uganda, and many of our students are from severely disadvantaged families. The schools are funded for the most part through sponsorships and parent contributions. However, the schools have started taking paying students with a long term view to become self sufficient.
Our teachers at HOPE Schools completed a series of Transformational Teacher Training Course that will guide them to understand the character and purpose of teaching.
