Kampala International School

Founded in 1993, KISU began as a small primary school with a curriculum based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales. Kampala has evolved considerably over the years and has undertaken an ambitious programme of expansion and development. It now boasts a purpose built school with excellent sporting facilities. Despite this phenomenal growth, the School has maintained its original aims and teaching philosophy.
