The Ark Kindergarten & Junior School

Foundations Matter

The Ark Kindergarten and Junior School (TAKJS) is a christian mixed private school with a daycare, kindergarten and junior school. The school has two campuses located in Kampala urban setups (upscale suburbs) of Bugolobi and Kiwatule. The school surroundings make the campuses a serene place for learning with minimal or limited external interference.

The name Ark signifies ‘where the lord lives’- The ark of the Lord’s covenant (Deuteronomy 31:25, Joshua 3:11). We believe that whoever enters “The Ark” will not leave the same way because we are committed to ensure that your child receives a strong foundation thus our motto, ‘foundations matter’.

TAKJS is credited with transformational learning by making it fun, motivating, creative and stimulating. We are proud of hundreds of children who have graduated from our schools after attaining a great foundation and are excelling in various local and international schools.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”
Proverbs 9:10

TESTIMONIALS

Thanks to you & your team for such great work you did with our Krystal over the past close to two years. Teacher Dorah & Teacher Annet, bravo!

At 6 years, I can’t believe how much she has accomplished during your online teaching.

We did a diagnostic exam for ACE and for some subjects. She was at grade three level and so much ahead of her age though she will have some gap paces to complete. She will be comfortably doing grade two paces beginning this term 2022. We couldn’t be more proud!

God bless the work of your hands!! Am so proud of the Ark Kindergarten & Junior School! – Maureen Asiimwe, mother to Asiimwe Krystal.

When I remember how my child was six months ago and the person she has turned out to be, I can never be more thankful! Seeing the kids performances yesterday got me teary! The efforts of the team at “The Ark ” is indescribable! Thank you a Million!

Thank you so much for organizing the parents’ seminar. There was a lot to learn about being an intentional parent!

Thank you again.

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

We embrace Uganda’s education philosophy and a blend of the british curriculum. As Christian educators, we believe:

That all truth is found in God and is revealed to us in His Word, the Bible.
In integration of the Biblical view in all academic learning and discipline.
Morals, character and intellectual education are interwoven and should not be separated.
To value children and give personal attention and care for at all times without conditions
Teachers must be a living examples intellectually and biblically through constant training, learning and prayer.
That a new generation of Uganda can emerge through Christian grounded education and we are commissioned to do this.
Education must affect the 3 aspects of human life: Spirit, Soul and Body to prepare children to have the mind of Christ.
