Acorns International School (AIS) Uganda is a 25-year-old institution, carving a niche for bringing exemplary, world-class international educational standards at an affordable price to Uganda. The trajectory from being The Acorns School to Acorns International School (AIS) has been an exhilarating one. AIS has journeyed from being a Preschool in 1996 in Nakasero, to an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum World School, in a sprawling 5-acre, purpose-built, campus that nurtures the holistic and balanced development of each child, be it an 18-month-old or an 18-year-old.

AIS is an authorised IB Continuum World School offering Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP) making it only the second school in Uganda to offer the IB Continuum programme at the most affordable price in the whole of EA. In addition, AIS is also authorised to offer the Cambridge A Levels Programme, making it the only school in Uganda offering two of the highest-rated parallel international curricula.

The campus has been specifically designed to cater to various needs, boasting state-of-the-art smart classrooms and numerous playing fields. It also houses libraries, science labs, IT labs, and a Design and Tech lab. In addition, it offers a multi-language programme that includes French, Kiswahili, Family Language, and Spanish. The campus features music, dance, and drama studios, as well as swimming pools, among other amenities.

We thrive on our pluralistic values with a diverse student population, representing more than 30 nationalities, and a staff population to match.

With various international accreditations, it is heartening to see such stalwarts in the industry partnering with us to provide unparalleled education.

To inspire and empower each other to achieve our personal best.

To provide education in an inquiry-based environment that nurtures holistic and balanced lifelong learners, who will create a better and more peaceful world.

AIS sought a symbol to represent itself within the local community. It was important that the symbol reflected the school’s identity, beliefs, values and was easily recognizable. There are three important features of the AIS logo:

  • The name of the school and its representation: Acorn representing core values
  • The structure and shape of the logo: Pyramid
  • The colours: Blue and Gold
