Acacia International School is a leading Christian international day school located in Muyenga, Kampala, dedicated to providing a rigorous, balanced education in a Christ-centered environment. Established in August 2012 by Jason and Linda Carpenter alongside Lee Erin Jones, the school began with just 17 students and has since grown into a vibrant international community serving students from over 31 nations.
Acacia operates two campuses, the Junior School for Early Years to Grade Five and the Senior School for Grades Six to Twelve, with the development of the Lakeside Campus underway to further expand educational opportunities. The school is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association (MSA) and is licensed by the Ministry of Education in Uganda.
Acacia International School provides a comprehensive curriculum that blends international rigor with a strong Christian worldview. From Kindergarten to Grade Eight, students follow the North American Classical curriculum, which incorporates Core Knowledge and the Singapore Math problem-solving approach, along with an engaging study of world history through Susan Wise Bauer’s Story of the World. Middle School students in Grades Six to Eight continue this classical program, designed to nurture intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and character development.
High School students benefit from a dual pathway: Grades Nine and Ten prepare for the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), while Grades Eleven and Twelve follow an American High School Diploma program enriched with Advanced Placement (AP) courses. This combination ensures global recognition, college readiness, and a strong foundation in academics, leadership, and practical skills. Throughout all grades, students also engage in Bible studies, Physical Education, and Service Projects to reinforce faith, community service, and stewardship of the environment.
Acacia International School emphasizes holistic development through a broad range of co-curricular activities designed to foster leadership, service, and creativity. Students participate in weekly chapel services, small discipleship groups, and spiritual emphasis programs to grow in faith, integrity, and purpose. Music, drama, and visual arts are integral to the curriculum, alongside sports, debate, and environmental stewardship activities.
Service learning and community engagement projects allow students to apply their leadership skills and Christian values in real-world contexts, fostering compassion, courage, and social responsibility. These programs create well-rounded individuals prepared to serve Christ and their communities with confidence and integrity.
Acacia International School offers state-of-the-art facilities to support both academic and personal development. The Junior and Senior School campuses feature well-equipped classrooms, science and computer laboratories, libraries, sports fields, and spaces for arts and music.
The developing Lakeside Campus adds over 44 acres of serene, lakeside grounds designed for innovative learning, outdoor activities, and expansion of boarding and recreational facilities. Students benefit from modern infrastructure that fosters engagement, collaboration, and holistic growth, creating an environment where academic excellence and spiritual formation are seamlessly integrated.
Today, Acacia International School is a thriving institution that serves Ugandan, international, and missionary families, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and Christian formation. The school prides itself on nurturing servant leaders who are equipped intellectually, spiritually, and socially to navigate a complex and interconnected world.
Acacia maintains a culture of integrity, compassion, and courage, reflecting its mission to glorify Christ through education. With a highly qualified and dedicated faculty, modern learning environments, and a diverse student body, the school continues to expand its facilities and programs while maintaining a Christ-centered ethos that inspires students to excel academically and grow spiritually.
