Rainbow International School Uganda, or simply Rainbow, is an international school for early-childhood, primary, and secondary education in Kampala, Uganda. [1]
Rainbow 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 playing fields. The school is in the Kampala district. It is owned by the Midland Group of companies. [2]
The Rainbow School has been helped and fund-raised for by the Run4Unity association and the Focolaré[ citation needed ].
Rainbow works with numerous charities, such as: Arms Around Africa, CARE, Interact, Animal Hope, and Habitat For Humanity.
Rainbow commenced its participation in the Duke of Edinburgh award in September 2014, which was founded by Mr. Skulmosky. The award was discontinued at Rainbow temporarily, but reinstated on 27 August 2017. It has since been discontinued once again, but the school is currently in the process of bringing it back.
