KICS is an international, day school located in Kabale Municipality, Kabale District, South Western Uganda. KICS uses the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) \u00a0Curriculum, a mastery based curriculum, used in many countries throughout the world, with strong Biblical values at its core.<\/p>\n<p>At KICS the emphasis is to produce strong and principled students who are not only academically gifted but holistically moulded and shaped to be productive members of society. We currently enrol students in Pre-School, Kindergarten, Primary and students beginning Secondary.<\/p>\n<p>KICS is licensed through the Ministry of Education and Sports of Uganda as well as registered internationally with AEE (Accelerated Education Enterprises), South Africa, and ICCE (International Certificate of Christian Education) in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>KICS began as a result of Ben and Esther Ward homeschooling their own children using the ACE curriculum and being approached by numerous people looking for an alternative educational approach. After prayer and God\u2019s guidance KICS was founded.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; ct_column_class=&#8221;rm-padding-lg&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1556273894464{padding-top: 65px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner ct_column_inner_class=&#8221;rm-padding-md&#8221;
