ISU is established and governed by Articles of Association which recognize each enrolled parent and teacher as a Member of the Association. The Association is responsible for establishing a Board of Directors consisting of six elected members from the parent association and up to four appointed members. Of the appointed members, up to three must be appointed by the Board of Directors, and one by the United States Ambassador to Uganda. Board members are all volunteers with no financial compensation and as a non-profit organisation, all funds are reinvested into the school's programmes and facilities.
Board of Directors' roles include:
- To be critical thought leaders for the school, ensuring meaningful generative discussions bridging between awareness of the evolving local and international context of the school and consistent application of the school's mission and vision in planning and decision making for the school.
- Strategic planning to look forward with aspiration for the future of ISU, creating a plan on a cyclical basis to establish the medium to long term goals of the school, and to monitor and evaluate its implementation.
- Fiduciary responsibility overseeing the school's finances, including review of annual budgets and long-term planning for the financial security of the school.
- To set and administer the policy of the school aligned with the school's philosophy and objectives.
- To recruit, select and appoint the Head of School and delegate to the HoS the operation and management of the school.
