Bweranyangi Girls traces its origins from Kamukuzi Hill in Mbarara, where in 1912, the Church Missionary Society (CMS), with eight girl-students, housed in a grass-thatched hut, founded the school, then known as Mbarara Junior School. The inaugural class included the daughter of the King of Ankole at that time, and one of the Ankole Prime Minister’s daughters. The school relocated to Ruharo Hill, also in Mbarara, in 1914, with a student population of thirty.

While at Ruharo the name of the school was changed to Mbarara Girls’ Boarding School. In 1954, due to frequent unwelcome visits by students from nearby Mbarara High School, and the need for still more expansion, the girls’ school was again relocated to Bweranyangi Hill in Bushenyi, 65 kilometres (40 mi), to the west.
In the early 1960s, the school was granted permission to start ‘O’ Level (S1 to S4), and later ‘A’ level (S5 to S6). The primary school was separated from the middle and high school and today exists adjacent to the Secondary School as Bweranyangi Primary School, a day and boarding mixed primary school.
