1. Entry requirements and language. Entry to The Aga Khan High School, Kampala is selective and merit-based. English is the medium of instruction for Ugandan O-level (S1) and IGCSE (Y7–Y11), as well as for UCE/UACE and the IB Diploma Programme. For Ugandan O-level (S1) entry, a PLE score of 15 points or better is required. For Year 7 entry, candidates sit an entrance test or have SAT-2 or CIPAT with a minimum of 12 or 10 points respectively. For A-level and IB Diploma entry, a Division 2 in UCE (35 aggregates) or 5A-C grades (including Mathematics and English) in IGCSE with a minimum B in the chosen Higher Level subjects is required; Maths and Physics HL require an A grade. Equivalence for UCE is needed for IB entry, and the Head of the previous school must vouch for good conduct; notable achievement in non‑academic activities is advantageous.
