A quick reference for curriculum, class levels, school fees, term dates, and visits.
Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) is an internationally recognised, mastery-based curriculum used in over 6,000 schools across 145 countries. Students work through individualised PACE workbooks, mastering each concept before progressing.
Ariguma ACE offers Pre-School (Step by Step, RR, and ABC) and Primary (Grades 1–6) — nine classes in total, with a maximum of 10 learners per class and a Year 1 enrolment of 90 students.
Yes. We are a Christ-centred international school. Biblical truth is integrated into every subject, and character development is central to our mission.
Through diagnostic testing, each student starts at their exact learning level in each subject independently. They progress through PACEs at their own pace, ensuring true mastery rather than age-based grade promotion.
Term fees are tiered by class: Step by Step — UGX 1,550,000; RR and ABC — UGX 1,650,000; Grades 1–2 — UGX 2,250,000; Grades 3–6 — UGX 2,450,000 per term.
The academic year follows three terms: Term 1 (February–April), Term 2 (June–August), and Term 3 (September–November). The school day runs from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Absolutely. We encourage all prospective families to book a personalised school tour. Tours can be scheduled via our website, phone, or WhatsApp.
