About Mount of Olives College Kakiri
School History & Background
Mount of Olives College Kakiri is a private mixed secondary school in Kakiri, Wakiso District, Uganda, providing a holistic education within a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment.
Significance of the name: We chose the name Olives because the olive tree is a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. Despite harsh winters and burning summers, they continue to grow, proud and strong reaching towards the sky, bearing fruit that nourishes and heals. In the same vein, we hope our school will survive the challenges and hurdles faced by new schools just as the olive tree survives the harsh conditions. It is our hope that the school will bear fruit that will contribute to National development.
