“We learn in entertaining and interesting methods and we appreciate how they teach us. For example, the heart beats 90 times in a minute for a child whereas for an adult it is 70 times a minute.” Imena said.
Kakooza Nkuriza Charles, the owner of Radio and TV1 and Gasogi United football team, a parent whose child is studying in Lead International School Kinyinya campus, witnessed the quality education provided by this school according to the proven improvement of his child.

“…they have experienced teachers and I like their practical way of teaching compared to where they were before. Lead is a good school because pupils are too communicative, not only that they teach course material but also how the kids behave and they advanced even in extracurricular activities. I think this will develop more scientists, engineers and doctors who are responsible citizens.” declared KNC.
Dr. Clara Chao Igobwa, resident director of Lead International School stressed that the board of directors of the school believe that children are created differently where every child is gifted and given particular capabilities. And that the work of teachers is to try and make the best out of the children.

“We need to give every child the opportunity to grow in every area. We give them practice because children are not only just intellectual beings, they are also physical, emotional, and social beings, and they are talented in the whole range of gifts like in sports, singing and music. This Science Fair enables them to put into practice what they learn theoretically. We are not only raising people of academic excellence, but also people of character, people of discipline…” stated Dr. Clara.
