Currently a nursery and primary school offering traditional subjects, the Alliance Academy of Hope in Eastern Uganda has a vision to turn out A-level graduates in a number of practical subjects. Plans to offer courses in wood work, agriculture, brick laying, computer literacy, home economics and carpentry are high on the agenda at the school in Nabweya sub-county, Manjiya county.

One of the school's central objectives - to meet the labour requirements of the community - is reflected in the school's mission statement: To produce enlightened citizens with industrious skills for self-reliance, rather than job seekers. The school committee know they have set themselves a high standard and are commited to hard work, as suggested by the school motto: If wishes were horses, all beggars could ride.

Currently the school consists of a central building with two main teaching classrooms and a library. With an increasing number of students, the priority is to construct more classrooms. The plan is then to build administration offices, a three-roomed workshop for vocational subjects and a room for a computer. The school committee also hope to construct male and female dormitories for students, accommodation for staff, a kitchen and a dining hall. The vision also includes a playground and a school truck. Eventually the school will be able to support 280 students, including orphans and vulnerable children, through primary, secondary and further education.

The school, which is 38 kilometres from Mbale, is funded through some government grants and donations from parents, friends of the school and members of the Parent Teachers Association (PTA). At a recent meeting, parents offered to give lectures at the school, proposed Geography and History field trips and suggested Science-related tours of a local factory and post-office. The school currently offers English Language, English Literature, Kiswakiki, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Fine Art and Music at primary level.

As well as developing students academically, the school is keen to encourage physical strength and leadership skills through games, sports and social clubs. In November 2009, the school took fourth place in a district level music competition and two pupils have qualified to represent the school and district in netball at national level.
