About Us
Fr. Alex You Memorial School (AYM) is a co-educational, non-denominational and nonprofit making school fully licensed by the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports and also registered with the Uganda National Examination Board.
​
The school was named Fr. Alex You Memorial to remember the charitable life of the late Fr. Alex You, a French missionary who served as a priest in Uganda and was brutally murdered in 1991.
