Heritage International School - Kampala

Heritage provides a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for students with mild to moderate learning challenges or differences. Support is offered according to the needs of the child and arranged through the Student Support Services following teacher observation and parental communication. A dedicated point person oversees the provision of support, including offering sessions, conducting person-centred reviews, writing IEPs, and coordinating with parents and class teachers. The program includes literacy and numeracy catch-up work and bespoke sensory and wellbeing activities to support in-class learning. Some students receive additional support from a Personal Assistant to help them reach their fullest potential.

Heritage offers inclusive education for students with mild to moderate learning challenges or differences. Support is provided in class as much as possible and adjusted to the child's needs, supplemented by literacy/numeracy catch-up programmes and bespoke sensory and wellbeing activities. Some students receive additional support from a Personal Assistant. A designated department oversees the support with a point person responsible for implementation. IEPs are written to formalize individual learning plans and progress is tracked through achievement assessments.

Our EAL students are evaluated on arrival at Heritage. We implement the support needed to ensure that students attain the language level that enables them to access grade level content in all subject areas. High School admission will be dependent on a good proficiency of English prior to entering the school.

Heritage provides mental wellbeing support through a School Counselor, a School Chaplain, caring teachers, principals and school nurses, all of whom are available to offer emotional or pastoral support where needed. Students can access confidential one-to-one support. We have started a wellbeing program in Sports, Music, Dance and Art to provide students with creative outlets to manage and regulate their own emotions, social experiences and behaviors, with a focus on developing creativity, confidence, resilience and self-esteem. The school takes mental health seriously and can offer advice and support if you or your family are going through a particularly difficult time, with trusted professionals available as needed.
