Our Story
The history of St. Charles Lwanga College is closely connected to the development of Catholic education in north-western Uganda.
Historical research on Catholic missionary education in West Nile records that missionaries acquired land in the Koboko area and established St. Charles Lwanga Farm School.
In 1956, Fr. Cifaldi developed the farm school into a secondary school. Classrooms, staff accommodation and dormitories were established as the institution developed, while part of the school’s land was used for agricultural activities.
From these beginnings, St. Charles Lwanga College grew into an important centre of secondary education in Koboko.
Today, the school continues that educational tradition while responding to the changing needs of modern learners.
Our Catholic Heritage
The Catholic Church has played an important role in the development of formal education throughout the West Nile region, and St. Charles Lwanga College is part of that heritage.
Catholic education traditionally seeks to develop the whole person by combining intellectual formation with faith, moral values, discipline and service to others.
At St. Charles Lwanga College, this heritage provides an important foundation for encouraging students to become knowledgeable, responsible and principled young people.
Historical research specifically identifies St. Charles Lwanga College as a Catholic-founded school within the region.
The purpose of St. Charles Lwanga College is broader than preparing students to pass examinations.
The school seeks to provide an education that enables young people to develop academically while also acquiring the character, confidence and responsibility necessary for life beyond school.
