About Us

Inspiring & Empowering

We are the second school in Uganda to offer the IB Continuum programmes.

Senior Leadership Team

With five nationalities represented in a 12-member team, the Acorns Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is the perfect example of a global village. With meritorious qualifications and troves of experience, our SLT brings about the balance that Acorns attributes its success to.

Teaching Staff

Our teaching team is fully qualified and trained, in addition, to experience in international education. We are a professional learning community, that engages in rigorous ongoing professional development at Acorns, as well as with the IBO.

Student Body

Students, at Acorns, represent over 30 nationalities. On a daily basis, they are engaged in rigorous academic preparation and a passion to become the best they can be. Through our engaging, inquiry-based environment, students reach their full academic potential and become responsible, caring, multilingual, and culturally literate global lifelong learners.

Parent Teacher Organisation

The Parent Teacher Organisation (PTO) is a volunteer organisation established to support the Acorns community – students, families and staff. PTO is meant to welcome all families in the school community, help everyone stay connected to one another and the school, create a space for school staff and parents to represent the voice of the community, and support our students through involvement and creativity.

Multicultural and Multifaceted

People from several parts of the globe and from different walks of life, which lends to the vibrancy that is so intrinsic to our ethos. As an IB Continuum, we pride ourselves in celebrating each other’s language, culture and tradition, be it students or staff. Despite coming from different parts of the world with troves of experience and expertise, our teachers receive regular internal and external professional development and training.
