Rainbow International School is an international school for infant, junior and secondary education in the Kampala district of Uganda.[1]
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 playing fields. The school is in the Kampala district. It is owned by the Midland Group of companies.[1]
The Rainbow School has been helped and fund-raised for by the Run4Unity association and the Focolaré.
This talent show was created by Rainbow, in which students from nearby international schools take part. There are three categories: vocal, instrumental and dance, and usually takes place in or around March of the current academic year. (Green hill Academy is not an international School.)
The internal talent show was founded by former Head Girl Inge Baredse and has taken place every year since to determine the participants in the international talent show. This Talent Show, comparing to the International Talent Show, also includes drama and comedy & takes place in the first term of the current academic year.
In Rainbow there are four major Charities: Arms Around Africa, CARE, Interact founded by Jewel Matoya (Run by Vansh Bataviya and Ernest Mathieu Mwidu) and "Habitat For Humanity". Nevertheless, there are two other charities: 3C founded by Sharon Kahumbu and Noella Byenkya, and "Lost And Found" founded by Lynn Muhairwe and Cinthya Peng which are not running amidst COVID-19.
Since 2014, Rainbow awards scholarship for students that are active in school life in school education and outdoor activities.
Rainbow commenced its participation in the Duke of Edinburgh award in September 2014, which was founded by Mr. Skulmosky. The current Duke of Edinburgh Award leader is Mr. Morton. The award was discontinued at Rainbow temporarily, but reinstated on 27 August 2017.
