Welcome from the Head

Welcome to the International School of Uganda. Are you ready to Discover the Difference that ISU has to offer?  We are a community of diverse learners committed to unlocking the opportunities of a changing world.

As an International Baccalaureate World School we are committed to the ideals of educating our learners for a future where they can apply their skills, attitudes and values to develop innovative and creative ways to support and impact their own lives, those of others in their surrounding community and at a global level.

We look forward to you exploring our website and social media postings to experience the difference.  Whether it is our academic programs which develop critical thinkers, inclusion which focuses on every child having access to learning at their level, our arts programs showcased through our new Arts Center, or our focus on the environment through our Greening ISU initiatives.

We hope that you develop a strong understanding of what we are all about and how exciting it is to be a student developing their passions at ISU.

Leading ISU I have discovered how valuable and important our community is for our students and their families, for our teachers and staff and for Uganda. A community that is supportive, willing to serve, and focussed on working together to develop a stronger, positive and future of hope for everyone.  Join us on our journey in making a difference that can impact the world.
