The school strives to create a safe and nurturing environment for the development of young minds in Nyalath, Aweil Centre. 

About Our School

Loreto Primary School Nyalath will be opened next to the Loreto Girls Secondary School, Aweil, to serve the children living in the Nyalath community.

It will start in 2026 with a kindergarten class and grow year by year until it becomes a fully operational two-stream primary school with classes from primary one to primary eight and two kindergarten classes.

Although coeducational, it serves as a pipline for girls from the local community to attend the secondary school after obtaining a high quality primary education.

To ensure this, fifty percent of registration slots are reserved for girls. To ensure that our students are well equipped to learn, the Loreto Primary School Nyalath provides a daily meal to each student.
