About
What this school is, in plain words
The Uganda branch of the Delhi Public School Society delivers the Indian CBSE curriculum from KG to Class 12, primarily serving the Indian-origin and broader business community across Kampala.
A message
From the principal
DPS Uganda offers the rigour and structure of the CBSE curriculum without leaving Kampala, a continuous pathway for our community from kindergarten to Indian and global universities.
Our alumni
Who we have shaped
...go on to...
...are Trailblazers at..
The Praecip verdict
Best CBSE pathway in Uganda for the Indian diaspora
What stands out
DPS Uganda is essentially without local competition for families wanting a continuous CBSE programme. Teaching staff is largely Indian-trained, results map cleanly onto Indian university admissions, and the cultural continuity for Indian-origin families is meaningful.
Where it falters
Sports facilities and arts breadth lag the larger Cambridge schools; campus is modest. For non-Indian-origin families considering CBSE, evaluate carefully against Cambridge, the curricula are not interchangeable for international universities.
