The school is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and in June 2019 became the first school in Uganda to obtain International Primary Curriculum (IPC) accreditation.

We celebrate this individuality in all that we do, praising a wonderful piece of artwork as warmly as we do a top award in mathematics, and promoting sporting achievement as much as successes in reading and writing.
It is this warmth of spirit that sets AMIS apart, where every student, every member of staff and every parent can find their place. Schools are often talked about as being happy places, but AMIS is made up of happy people - happy to be respected, valued, and appreciated, given every opportunity to succeed in a way that is meaningful to them.
