Company Description
Galaxy International School Uganda (GISU) is a premier co-educational private international institution that delivers high-quality global education to a highly diverse student population. Established in 2012, the school serves a multicultural student body representing more than 40 different nationalities. It employs qualified and highly trained local, regional, and expatriate educators from the United Kingdom, North America, Europe, and Asia. Fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), the institution prioritizes academic excellence, global mindedness, and holistic child development.
The main flagship campus is located at Plot 1077, Lubowa Estate along the Kampala–Entebbe Road, situated approximately 10 kilometers from Kampala’s central business district. The sprawling, modern facility features advanced educational infrastructure, including dedicated physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories, specialized ICT centers, an iPad room, a MacBook lab, and smart boards integrated across all classrooms. To accommodate expanding public demand, the parent organization—Galaxy International School Limited—has grown to manage multiple specialized campuses across the country, which include full-scale residential boarding amenities for male and female students.
Academically, GISU functions as a registered Cambridge International School, catering to learners aged 2.5 to 19 years old. The continuous curriculum model spans five main divisions: Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Primary, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary (IGCSE), and Advanced Level (AS/A-Levels). This framework equips students to sit for globally recognized examinations administered directly by Cambridge Assessment International Education. Typical class sizes are capped at 20 pupils to guarantee an inclusive, inquiry-based, and student-centered learning ratio.
Beyond core classroom textbooks, GISU hosts extensive extracurricular and youth-leadership programs to foster practical innovation. The school organizes major regional events, such as the national GISU STEAM Expo, the Mathemania mathematics tournament, and the International Festival of Cultural Diversity (IFCD). Students can actively participate in global frameworks like The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, Model United Nations (MUN), and the First Lego League robotics championships. This extensive blend of rigorous academics and tech-forward recreation places standard annual tuition fees in the range of UGX 22.4 million to UGX 54.6 million, depending on the academic grade level.
