Our science vision

A centre for science

We are building Holy Cross Lake View into a centre for science in Uganda.

We believe science education should be experiential, driven by inquiry and relevant to real challenges. Students learn to question, test and build, developing critical thinking and a passion for discovery that lasts a lifetime.

With eight well-stocked laboratories, the national offices of the Association of Biology Educators on campus and dedicated teachers, our learners have the tools, mentorship and opportunities to excel.

Where discovery happens

Specialised laboratories

Eight science laboratories, each able to hold up to 100 students, plus dedicated computer facilities.
