Multicultural and Multifaceted
When we moved to Uganda, one of my main concerns was to seek an adequate school for my 7-year-old daughter. Three things I had set as a criteria were diversity, education standards, and affordability. I can say this was met by AIS and now I am more confident when I see my child surrounded by experienced teachers and staff. Despite the language barrier, I have noticed significant progress and my child blended in quickly.

Senior Biomedical Engineer - Parent since 2022I enrolled my daughter at AIS and was impressed by the personalised attention she received. Later, my son joined in Year 9, and despite being new to the IB system, he quickly adapted and developed a love for learning. AIS offers diverse extracurricular activities and fosters global participation, with my son becoming a World Scholars Championship finalist at Yale. The school has grown significantly, from 200 students in 2017 to over 700 in 2023, with impressive facilities and a curriculum designed to shape future leaders.

BusinesswomanDuring my first visit to AIS, I was thoroughly impressed by the warm and welcoming attitude of the staff and teachers, as well as the stunning campus and modern facilities. The school offers both IBDP and Cambridge A Levels curricula for high school students, which provides great flexibility for students to select a curriculum that best suits their learning styles and aspirations. Additionally, the school's relatively reasonable tuition fees and convenient location made it a top choice for my daughter's high school education.

Parent since 2020My son started Year 4 at AIS in 2016, transitioning from a national school. I was impressed by how effortlessly he adapted to the curriculum and other programs. AIS adopts an authentic learning approach that encourages curiosity, innovation and passion through research, analysis and problem-solving. The school provides emotional support to students, exemplified by its counselling program which helped my son cope with his father's passing in 2020. AIS also prioritizes learners' discipline, making it a well-rounded institution.
