The
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.
Aims
& Ethos
Helping students fulfil their potential in all aspects
of their development is our starting point. Students
at KISU develop a keen sense of self-identity and
positive self-esteem. Internationalism is valued highly
and students develop a good understanding of their
multi-cultural world. Academic excellence is achieved
through high expectations, strong motivation, a challenging
curriculum, constant encouragement and excellent teaching.
The school offers a warm, friendly and imaginative
environment where students are encouraged to discover
and develop individual talents, whether they are intellectual,
creative, or sporting.
The Enriched Curriculum
KISU has a programme of studies based on the National
Curriculum of England and Wales. French is taught
to all children from Year One upwards. A programme
of personal, social and health education is implemented
throughout the school. The curriculum has been adapted
to reflect the international diversity of our school
community and its location in Uganda.
Internationalism
at KISU
Internationalism permeates every aspect of life at
Kampala International School . It is outlined clearly
in our school aims statement and visible throughout
the curriculum. Moreover, it is apparent in the attitudes
and values demonstrated by Kampala teachers and students.
KISU
fosters and promotes cultural awareness, understanding,
respect and sensitivity for all cultures. Students
gain and develop knowledge, attitudes and values towards
international understanding. They are encouraged to
be aware of, and committed to, solutions of international
problems through the development of an international
attitude.
