Named for the seven hills on which Kampala is built, 7Hills International School was founded by a group of like-minded parents in Uganda who sought a secondary school with quality teaching and care. It provides an affordable international secondary education that develops the whole child—intellectually, emotionally and physically—and offers a safe and stimulating environment for learning. The founders chose the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) for Years 7–9 to support knowledge, critical thinking and values during the middle years. 7Hills combines the advantages of a small school with a broad curriculum spanning traditional academics, sport, the creative and performing arts and computer science. The pioneer Year 7 class began in August 2017, and the school planned to offer Years 7–13 by 2023.
Parental involvement is highly valued through the PCC, a small network of class representatives that coordinates parent participation in school events and activities. The PCC aims to create opportunities for the 7Hills family—students, parents, teachers, families and the community—to socialize and share information and expertise to continually improve the student experience and learning. The school fosters a close-knit community with a broad curriculum that includes traditional academics, sport, the creative and performing arts, and computer science, and features facilities such as a fully stocked international library, music and art rooms, fine arts and performance spaces, a science lab, computer lab, and Lugogo Stadium for extensive sporting facilities.
The school has a Parent Community Committee (PCC) that coordinates parent participation in school events and activities. The PCC functions as a network of class representatives that connects families with teachers and staff, enabling engagement and information sharing to improve the student experience. It strengthens the 7Hills community by enabling parents to contribute to school life and support students' learning.
