Home / Student Life
Student life at the Academy
A school of music and a home for worshipers. Students learn together, pray together and carry worship into the city together.
More than a classroom
A community that builds character as well as skill
At the Academy, music is learned alongside discipleship. Teachers are worship ministers themselves, and mentors walk with students in faith as well as craft.
Across the year students rehearse, write, record, serve and lead. They leave with an instrument or a skill, and with friendships and a calling that last far beyond the certificate.
The rhythm of Academy life
Every week brings together learning, playing, praying and serving.
Band rehearsals
Students play together in worship bands, learning to listen, follow a leader and serve the room.
Prayer and devotion
We began as a prayer fellowship, and prayer and the Word still sit at the centre of Academy life.
Ministry outreach
Students lead worship in churches, schools and communities while they are still training.
Around the Academy
Rehearsals, worship nights, outreach days and classes for every age.
“Before the Academy I had the gift but no direction. They didn't just teach me guitar, they taught me why I play.”Frank Kaisali, guitar graduate, Kampala
