At Minerva, the day begins with assembly in the main compound for all the classes at 8-15 AM. The school head prefect, the vice head prefect, the sports captain and the heads of the houses lead the session. The assembly includes prayer, a national anthem, choir singing, reading of a selected passage from the Bible, ‘thoughts for the week’, and reading of the important news of the day. The classes are scheduled from 8-00 AM to 4-30 PM. Apart from curriculum-based and examination-oriented teaching, the academic work includes project-based learning by the students, industrial visits and study tours.The School also provides opportunities for interaction with external specialists in various fields, including from abroad. Student exchange programmes are in position with schools and universities. A few students of foreign nationality also study here along with the Ugandan students. These initiatives are part of the School’s larger strategy for giving the students a global perspective and equipping them to be truly citizens of the world village.

The School conducts three midterm and three term-end examinations. The primary school follows the comprehensive and continuous assessment systems. After every term-end examination, the students are given special guidance and coaching. Parents are also kept informed through ‘open house’ sessions.
