About KISU
For those of you who didn’t know KISU, it is an international school in Kampala, Uganda, located in the neighbourhood of Bukoto. It was formerly named Kabira International School of Uganda.
KISU is an education facility that offers international education to students between 2 and 19 years of age.
KISU is blessed with a truly international staff and student body made up of over 50 nationalities as well as a palpably warm, tolerant and welcoming ethos but to these inherent advantages, it has added over the years a wide range of events, strategies and activities designed to shape and develop the whole child.
