A school built on care, discipline, and curiosity

Karibu International School is a private mixed boarding and day primary school located in Iganga District, Uganda. The school also has a thriving nursery and preschool section run using the Montessori model. Its ethos is to educate and maintain discipline in students while still protecting each child’s sense of contentment, joy, and confidence.

That balance matters. It means children do not just memorize content; they learn how to think, communicate, collaborate, and grow into well-mannered young adults who are prepared for high school, college, and life beyond the classroom.
