About

This is who we are

Founded in 1911 atop Mwiri Hill, Busoga College is one of Uganda's oldest secondary schools and the dominant academic and cultural institution of the Busoga sub-region, a feeder of national leaders, judges and clergy for over a century.

Today it serves 1,050 students alongside 95 teaching staff.

A message

From the headmaster

Mwiri shapes men of substance, academically rigorous, culturally rooted, and unafraid of public service. Busoga's sons leave this hill to lead.

The Praecip verdict

The dominant boys' school of Eastern Uganda, academic depth + Busoga cultural heritage

What stands out

Mwiri is the gravitational centre of secondary education in Busoga. Strong UCE/UACE results, deep alumni network across Eastern Uganda's civil service and judiciary, exceptional sports culture.

Where it falters

Some learning infrastructure trails the Kampala heritage schools, and STEM facilities are still being modernised. For families in Eastern Uganda wanting a serious boys' boarding option without sending sons to Kampala, Mwiri is the unrivalled choice.
