Welcome to Joshua Cheptegei Junior School, a center of excellence dedicated to nurturing young minds and shaping future leaders. Founded with a vision to provide quality education, character development, and holistic growth, our school is inspired by the values of discipline, perseverance, and excellence—the same principles that define our founder, world champion Joshua Cheptegei.

Located in Kapchorwa, in the Sebei region of Uganda, Joshua Cheptegei Junior School offers a unique environment for learning. The region’s high-altitude training grounds provide an ideal setting for physical endurance, particularly for athletics, while also enriching the academic experience.

At Joshua Cheptegei Junior School, we believe that every child deserves the best foundation for success. Our curriculum blends academic excellence, sports development, and life skills training, ensuring that students grow into well-rounded individuals. We focus on talent identification and development, particularly in athletics and leadership, helping students reach their full potential. With specialized programs in athletics, co-curricular activities, and leadership opportunities, we empower learners to become the best versions of themselves.

The school serves both day and boarding learners, welcoming students from across Uganda—including the eastern, western, northern, and central regions—as well as neighboring Kenya. This diverse student body contributes to a vibrant and inclusive learning environment where students can share experiences, learn from each other, and build lasting connections.

Our commitment to holistic development means that, beyond academics, we focus on character building, sportsmanship, and social responsibility. Special occasions like birthdays are celebrated in a way that fosters community bonding and boosts student morale.
