About Our School

A legacy of excellence, faith, and transformation.

Our Story

Kennedy Secondary School (KSS) is a premier private secondary school located 22km along the Kampala-Entebbe Highway in Kawuku. Since its inception, KSS has been dedicated to providing a supportive and inspirational environment for young enquiring minds to learn and grow.

As a Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) affiliated institution, we believe in the holistic development of our students—nurturing their academic, spiritual, physical, and social dimensions. Our campus, often called the "Kenhill Campus," is designed to be a safe haven for learning and character building.

We are particularly renowned for our exceptional music program, which has produced world-class choirs that perform both locally and internationally, carrying our message of faith and excellence through song.
