Rainbow International School is an international school for infant, junior and secondary education in the Kampala district of Uganda.
The Rainbow International School was established in September 1991 as a primary school with 29 children. In September 1995, the school moved to its present 9-acre (36,000 m2) site with newly constructed purpose-built classrooms and administration block and extensive playing fields. The school is in the Kampala district. It is owned by the Midland Group of companies.
Rainbow International School is a relatively low-cost international school catering for children from all parts of the world from ages 3 up to 21 (kindergarten to ‘A’ level) with full-time boarding facilities for students age 7 and above. It is a non-selective school offering education for all abilities, cultures and religions. The school follows the guidelines of the British National Curriculum and employs teaching methods required to succeed in such a system.[1] Rainbow has qualified staff to teach special needs and ESL (English as a Second Language).[2]
The school maintains small class sizes to allows the children to gain a more personal relationship with their teachers at the same time as enabling the teacher to know their children well.
