Testimonials
When I first moved to Kabale, I admit I had my doubts about finding the right school for my daughter, Joy. The thought of navigating a new place and ensuring she had a great educational start was a bit daunting. But then, a good friend told us about KICS.
We decided to visit and met with Esther, who gave us a tour of the school and for lack of a better word, “We were wowed”. From then the rest was history! The warmth and genuine care we felt instantly put my worries at ease. Joy absolutely loved KICS from her very first day. It truly felt like we had found a second home for her, and she embraced it wholeheartedly.

I joined KICS as a Preschool & Kindergarten teacher after seeing how much my daughter loved it. From day one, I felt at home—welcomed by a warm, purpose-driven community. What makes KICS special is its heart: every child is known and valued. Leadership is servant-minded, and teachers are passionate about helping children grow spiritually, academically, and personally. Daily devotions and fellowships nurture faith, while co-curriculars like music, swimming, and sports let kids shine. Parents are true partners, and all of this comes at an affordable cost. I’m proud to be part of KICS—as a parent and a teacher.
