In line with social justice education, this paper attempts to demystify the pattern of values integration in denominational school discipline by focusing on ways through which values are integrated and the sorts of values emphasized in the denominational school. The researchers evaluated secondary documents such as archival materials, dissertations and school reports with a view of identifying forms of values integration and the types of values widely used in primary and secondary schools of Kampala district. Using a grounded theory approach, it was found out that the roles of School Governing Bodies, the need to promote denominational school interests, the educators role, governments role and the socialization process are some of the ways in which values are imparted. The paper also examines that different values are emphasized by different denominations depending on the divergence of interests and founding philosophies. The paper concludes that in order to build positive discipline, citizenship and social justice education; values integration should be a collective educational responsibility. More so, school stakeholders should harmonize values for purpose of promoting universal education and not their personalized interests at the expense of the learner and the society that is going to take on that learner.
