Authentic learning experiences are at the heart of our philosophy of learning at the International School of Uganda (ISU) and we provide a range of opportunities for learning beyond the school campus.
Day Trips
Over the years we have developed strong partnerships with a number of organisations, businesses and community initiatives who work with us to support learning across the school. These day trips are generally used by the Junior School Students who are not able to take part in overnight events.
