Elite High School was established in 2017 by a group of young South Sudanese returnees from Kakuma Refugee camp, who believed in the power of education to transform the society, with the aim of providing quality education to the local communities, which were lacking educational facilities after the independence of South Sudan in 2011.

With two decades of civil war, many children were out of school, there was concentration of students in the early grades, a high proportion of over-age students, repetition of years and dropout levels and low overall quality of educational provision, all these challenges, give young returnees an idea to use education as a fundamental tool for a positive community transformation. They later made a micro-group saving to achieving their dream. They then started school with only one block that had four classrooms and twenty-eight (28) students. Despite the limited resources, the founders were determined to create a positive learning environment.

Over the years, the school evolved gradually, adding more classrooms and other facilities. After the end of the Covid-19 Epidemic era, our school has grown into a well-respected educational institution in the country. The school also began to participate in inter-school competitions within and outside the country, further enhancing its prestige.

Today, our school is renowned for its academic excellence and nurturing prowess. It continues to uphold the founders’ vision, shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Elite High School is one of the most converted schools in South Sudan, Africa and indeed, Globally in the provision of quality education.

Elite High School boasts a dynamic debate program that encourages students to articulate their ideas, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in respectful discourse. Through various competitions and team activities, students gain confidence and improve their public speaking abilities, fostering a culture of intellectual curiosity and active participation in their education.
