The  quality and pace of any country’s  socio-economic development is  largely a reflection of the education system of  that particular  country.  To achieve the mission of the OCS, each learner  will be  equipped with basic knowledge and skills necessary for daily living,   adjustment to societal, economic and political changes, good physical  and  mental health, and productive work and peaceful living ethics. The  Primary and  Secondary curriculum, offered in the OCS will be aligned  to the Uganda  National Aims of Education.
 
Each  curriculum segment takes into  account the fact that Primary education  is the first level of formal education  and often the last chance for  children to equip themselves with basic and  vital practical skills  that will enable them to earn a living.  In this  way, the  curriculum aims at enabling the learners to contribute to the welfare   of their community.
 
Throughout the curriculum, emphasis  has been  put on the development of functional literacy and numeracy,  effective  communication skills in local languages; as well as English,  appreciation of  cultural diversity, acceptance of variety in beliefs  and social values, and a  sense of national identity.
