About

This is who we are

A community-based secondary school founded in 2003 by parents and elders of Nakaseke Sub-county, Nakaseke CSS provides accessible, low-cost UNEB secondary education to children from a largely agricultural catchment, with a particular focus on orphans and other vulnerable children.

Today it serves 620 students alongside 38 teaching staff.

A message

From the headteacher

We exist because the children of Nakaseke deserve a real chance at secondary education without leaving home. The community pays our bills; the community owns this school.

The Praecip verdict

Modest results, outsized community spirit, a real second chance for vulnerable children

What stands out

Nakaseke CSS is what works when a village builds its own school. Results are modest by national standards but the per-shilling outcome, and the genuine support for orphans, is hard to match anywhere in Wakiso district.

Where it falters

Facilities are still being built and the staff is small, so academically-driven families targeting Makerere should look elsewhere. For families needing accessible, locally-rooted, OVC-friendly secondary education, Nakaseke is exactly what it advertises.
