Located along the Northern Bypass in Kampala and commonly known as Acorns Kisaasi, Acorns International School is an independent, coeducational institution serving students from early years through senior school. What sets the school apart is its versatile dual-curriculum framework, seamlessly integrating the International Baccalaureate continuum (PYP, MYP, and IB Diploma) alongside the British system featuring AS and A Levels. This dual-stream academic model allows families to choose tailored, globally recognized qualifications to suit their children's university aspirations within an inclusive, secular environment.
