Hope . . . The Antidote

We are proud to announce that JPSS moved up more than 200 places in its national ranking among Ugandan secondary schools.    We stand fourth in the Pallisa District, 874 out of 2094 nationally and 1022 as the best performing science school in the country.  

Administrator Fr. John Chrysostom and Headmaster Moses Bwayo offer valid reasons why the school is ranked so highly and enjoys such a great reputation. 

Fr. John: “The Ugandan Education system is mainly theoretical. Most graduates of this system can reason but without practical skills which is very dangerous.  This can be attributed to the government’s failure to equip major institutions with the necessary equipment to provide enhanced practical learning.  JPSS brings new hope and opportunity to this negative trend through the provision of necessary equipment such as science laboratories and computer technology that have enabled our learners to acquire practical skills.   We promote the Educate Club to develop entrepreneurship, and we emphasize religion and ethics, discipline and teamwork and creative thinking.”

Headmaster Moses: “Our teachers are highly accredited; even more important, they are highly committed to helping their students succeed.  A teacher is paramount in the success of every student; just as a driver determines the success of a journey so does a teacher.  A highly committed teacher will always enable his or her students to excel.  Additionally, we guide and parent students in a holistic manner, keeping them closer to us and this has enabled them to be nurtured roundly. We instill moral values and integrity through frequent guidance and counseling sessions, rewards and discipline.  Every day begins with mass and every lesson with a prayer.“

“What we realize now is that John Paul School is becoming the academic giant and the hope of every parent.” – Fr. John Chrysostom
