Religious life

Two traditions, one school community.

Mbale High School welcomes students of all faiths and none. We are a Christian foundation by heritage, but our Muslim students worship freely on campus, with their own chaplain and dedicated Friday prayer time.

Christian observance

Sunday services are held in the school chapel, an Anglican rite by tradition though students of all Christian denominations are welcome. A Roman Catholic priest visits twice a term for Mass, and Pentecostal fellowship meets on Wednesday evenings.
