Busaana Modern Academy was the first private Ordinary Level, Mixed Day Secondary School in Bugerere, within Kayunga (then part of Mukono District). It opened in 1995, nine years after Busaana SS, a government school opened in the same subcounty when the NRM Government had risen to power in Uganda. The school is registered under the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES).

History
With permission from the Local Council I to III and then the Education Office in Mukono, BMA started with Senior One and Two in February 1995. Premises were rented in town while construction on the current site (Plot 13, Kireku Road, about half a kilometre from Busaana Taxi Park) started a year later. By January 1999, BMA had moved, the school also got a license. Despite resistance and opposition from some people, the school is still operational and lobbying for the government's Universal Secondary Education (USE) programme. An examination main hall that doubles as a laboratory has been constructed as required by MoES for a Centre Number. Today, BMA educates students up to Senior Four, the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) Examination Level.
Terminated sale (2010s)
The founding directors, James Dramani and Francis Draga, thought of selling the school but a partnership with Greens Education Project from Nigeria proved very suspicious. So, they terminated the deal and intent to sell though one thing gained from this experience was the colour change to the current school uniform - white shirts, green and white sweaters plus green trousers for boys and green skirts for girls. The motto remained: 'Aim At Success'.
