“Nurturing Hearts, Minds, and Hands”
At New Hope Uganda, education is never just books or exams – it is discipleship. Every classroom is a place where children are taught
not only to think critically but also to walk faithfully with Jesus Christ.
We currently serve directly through three schools: Essubi Eppya Vocational Primary School (EEVPS), New Hope Academy, and Kobwin EEVPS.
1. Essubi Eppya Vocational Primary School serves children from preschool through primary seven (grade 6). We also provide special needs education for children with disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, Hydrocephalus, and cerebral palsy.
2. New Hope Academy offers classes from senior one (grade 7) through senior four (grade 10).
3. Kobwin EEVPS, is located in Eastern Uganda and also serves students from preschool through primary 7 (grade 6).
Each school has a unique role in discipling the lives of young children and young people; discipling them with the Word of God and the biblically aligned worldview through the BMW clubs, and vocational skills (tailoring, carpentry, agriculture, brick laying, and construction), these prepare them for their future careers, self-sufficiency, and becoming productive citizens.
Together, these schools exemplify our vision: “Bringing the fatherhood of God to the fatherless.” They are places where hope is restored, dignity is affirmed, and destinies are built on the solid foundation of Christ.
Academic Excellence
At EEVPS
We currently serve 318 pupils from preschool through primary seven (grade 6). In the most recent Primary Leaving Examination (P.L.E), 35 sat for the exam. We are proud to share that six achieved first grade, twenty-seven achieved second grade, and only two earned third grade. These results are a testimony to the dedication of our teachers and the perseverance of our pupils.
At NHA
In our secondary school, we currently serve 169 students from senior one (grade 7) through senior four (grade 10). Each classroom is designed to accommodate up to 35 students, ensuring a manageable class size that supports effective teaching and learning. We are glad to share that in the most recent Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE), 51 students sat for the exam, and based on the new curriculum, every student passed and qualified to get a certificate. We registered no failures, a testimony to the dedication of our teachers and the perseverance of our students.
These results show that Christ-centered education produces not only spiritual growth but also academic achievement.
Beyond Academics
Our curriculum is not just about passing exams – it is about discipling lives through biblically integrated lessons that emphasize the God of the universe throughout the different disciplines of study and life skills to equip the learners to be productive. In every subject or discipline, we ensure that students see God’s truth in subjects: Mathematics, Science, and Literature among others. Learning does not stop at textbooks. Our students are immersed in a holistic environment where spiritual growth and practical skills are cultivated alongside academic excellence.
- Daily Devotions and Bible study: Each morning begins with prayer and scripture, grounding students in God’s Word, reminding them that everything starts with God, setting the tone for the day.
- Biblical Womanhood & Manhood (BMW): Monthly sessions guide boys and girls to embrace their God-given identity and purpose, equipping them to live with integrity and confidence.
- Spiritual Growth Opportunities: Students participate in Scripture Union fellowships every Wednesday at NHA where guest speakers address topics that shape their faith, character, and leadership.
- Sports Program: At NHA, we hold sports activities every Friday from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. All students are encouraged to take part in these activities, while others take on basketball, netball, and volleyball. Through these activities, many talents and gifts have been discovered, nurtured, and grown.
- Skills Development: Beyond spiritual formation, students gain hands-on experience in gardening, tailoring, carpentry, and soon we desire to include baking. These programs instill responsibility, creativity, and resilience, preparing them for life beyond the classroom.
This holistic approach ensures that every child is nurtured academically, spiritually, and practically. This leaves our schools not only with knowledge but also faith, character, and skills that empower them to thrive in their communities and honor God in every area of life.
Equipping Teachers, Empowering Students
At new hope Uganda schools, we believe that quality education begins with teachers. A child’s destiny is shaped not only by the lessons they learn but by the mentors who guide them. That’s why we invest in our staff through trainings and workshops because when teachers thrive, the learners also flourish.
Every year, our teachers participate in Envisioning, a powerful time of renewal and alignment led by the ministry’s founder and other seasoned speakers. During these days of Envisioning, staff are reminded of the heart of the Vision: Bringing the fatherhood of God to the fatherless. It is more than professional development – it is spiritual equipping.
In addition, our teachers attend Biblical integration workshops where they learn how to weave God’s truth into every subject. Whether it’s mathematics, science, or literature, each lesson becomes an opportunity to point students back to God.
The impact is undeniable. Classrooms are transformed into places where faith and knowledge walk hand in hand, eventually equipping the head, heart, and hands of the learners. Students are not only mastering academics but are being discipled in character, integrity, and leadership.
We are delighted to let you know that your support makes this possible. Every gift ensures that teachers remain inspired, trained, and equipped to mentor the hundreds of children. When you invest in teachers, you are investing in generations of students who will carry both wisdom and faith, and in turn ensure the fatherhood of God is extended to other orphans in their communities.
Through our faithful partners, empowered by the Lord, we are building destinies, restoring hope, and raising leaders who will impact their families, churches, and communities for generations to come. Thank you for walking faithfully with us in this journey.
