The Kampala Diplomatic International School offers a Cambridge education pathway for learners aged 2 to 18. The curriculum follows Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS Levels, with classes from KG-1 to AS Level. This arrangement provides a continuous programme from early years through upper secondary under the Cambridge framework. The school has launched an AS Cambridge class and reports strong performance in both sciences and the Arts, indicating a balanced emphasis on STEM subjects and creative study. To build teaching capacity, staff were sent to a Cambridge Training & Workshop in Nairobi, Kenya, and the school was the only institution nationwide to participate in this programme. Students benefit from structured Cambridge assessment routes and a progression pathway toward higher level qualifications. The school's setup supports international families seeking an education that aligns with globally recognized Cambridge qualifications and enables continuity across critical stages of learning.
