About international schools in Kampala, Uganda
Kampala’s more affordable international schools form a distinct part of a varied market that ranges from small, low-fee Cambridge or English-language primaries to larger schools that also offer IGCSEs and, at the upper end, the IB Diploma. English is the usual medium of instruction, with French, Kiswahili and local languages commonly offered as additional languages; many schools blend international syllabuses with local context. Annual fees at the lower end are commonly quoted in the millions of Ugandan shillings (parents should expect fees to be described in UGX or USD and to budget separately for enrolment levies, transport and exam or activity charges). Admissions are often handled year-round but the main intakes fall around January, April and August/September, so relocating families should start enquiries several months before a planned start date and confirm exact term dates with each school.
