Acorns International Schools Honoured as Uganda’s Best Private International School at the 13th Visionary Awards

Uganda’s 13th Visionary Awards once again shone a spotlight on institutions shaping the country’s future—and this year, Acorns International Group of Schools rose to the top, earning the prestigious title of Best Private International School in Uganda.

For nearly three decades, Acorns has set a benchmark for international-standard education while remaining committed to accessibility and value. Its growth and consistency have made it one of Uganda’s most trusted names in premium schooling, and this latest recognition reinforces that legacy.

A Dual-Curriculum Strength: IB & Cambridge

One of Acorns’ strongest differentiators is the breadth of academic pathways it offers:

Kisaasi Campus – Full IB Continuum
At Kisaasi, learners benefit from the globally respected International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum—from early years to diploma level. This campus stands out for its holistic, inquiry-based approach designed to prepare students for global competitiveness and leadership.

Bunga, Lubowa & Kigali Campuses – Cambridge Curriculum
The Bunga, Lubowa, and Kigali campuses deliver the Cambridge Assessment International Education framework, known for its academic rigor and clear progression from primary to advanced secondary levels. These campuses maintain high performance standards while supporting diverse learning needs.

Together, these two internationally recognised programmes allow parents to choose the pathway that best aligns with their child’s aspirations—an advantage few institutions in the region can match.

Almost 30 Years of Educational Excellence

Since its establishment almost 30 years ago, Acorns International has grown with a clear mission: to deliver world-class education at rates that remain attainable for families seeking quality without excess.
This balance of excellence and affordability has helped shape a broad community of learners who thrive academically, socially, and globally.

Why This Win Matters

The Visionary Award celebrates institutions that contribute meaningfully to Uganda’s development agenda. Acorns’ win reflects:

1. Consistent investment in academic quality
2. Expansion of accessible international education
3. A culture of innovation and global-minded learning
4. Proven impact across multiple campuses and thousands of learners

It is a powerful moment not just for the school, but for parents, educators, and all stakeholders who believe in the transformative power of great education.
