The Story of Namilyango
Namilyango College stands proudly as Uganda's first and oldest secondary school, founded in 1902 by the Mill Hill Missionaries on the peaceful hilltop of Namilyango, approximately six kilometres southwest of Mukono Town in central Uganda.
The school was born from a vision of holistic education — one that would nurture the intellectual, spiritual, moral and physical development of young Ugandan men. From its very first classroom, Namilyango became a crucible for leaders, thinkers and nation-builders.
Over twelve decades, the school has evolved from a small mission school with a handful of students into a fully-fledged national institution offering O-Level (S1–S4) and A-Level (S5–S6) programmes, while consistently ranking among Uganda's very best performing secondary schools.
The school's motto — "Education for Responsibility" — captures the timeless conviction that knowledge without moral purpose is incomplete. Every student who walks through the gates of Namilyango is shaped not only to succeed but to serve.
