It is today a leading school in the area, with about 650 students population. The School Moto is \u2018<i>Education With Values<\/i>\u2019.\u00a0 RAE interventions have been strongly influenced by the experiential learning approach at EARTH University in Costa Rica.

The focus of RAE was and is still to increase access to basic education, and basic health, drinking water and agricultural technologies to remote rural communities. Special attention is placed on the retention of the girl child in primary and secondary schools, and reaching out to educate students from Karamoja region, one of the most underdeveloped regions of Uganda. To in-build skill development into the education process and prepare school students for future career and self-employment opportunities, RAE established School Garden Learning Labs and partnered with the National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) to extend testing and dissemination of improved agricultural technologies with Schools and communities as the Technology dissemination centres.
