Acorns Group Launches 30-Year Celebrations With Wellbeing Campaign

Acorns Group of Schools is marking three decades of educational service by launching a comprehensive wellbeing campaign. The initiative, themed "30 years, 30 Wellbeing Initiatives, One Community," underscores the school's philosophy that education extends beyond academic achievements to encompass the holistic development of its learners.

We started very small. We are not saying we are very big now, but we have grown steadily over the years. With a dedicated team led by Ms. Ameena, we have made remarkable progress.

The campaign aims to foster confident, healthy, responsible, and well-rounded individuals prepared for life after graduation. It will address various aspects of wellbeing, including physical health through promoting active lifestyles and sports, and digital wellbeing by educating students on responsible internet use and online safety. Social wellbeing will be enhanced by focusing on teamwork, empathy, and community service, while family wellbeing initiatives will encourage stronger parent-child communication and involvement in education.

Established in Kisaasi in 1996, Acorns has grown significantly from a single campus to a regional educational institution with branches in Bunga, Lubowa, and Kigali, Rwanda. The school has built a reputation for academic excellence, innovative teaching methods, and a child-centered approach.

Our goal is to offer quality education that meets international standards while remaining accessible and affordable for families.

Looking forward, Acorns Group of International Schools Board Chair, Adnan Jasani, expressed the institution's ambition to become a recognized regional education brand. "We are already in Rwanda, and in the near future we plan to expand to other countries, including Burundi, South Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania," Jasani stated. The school also emphasizes environmental wellbeing through sustainability projects, encouraging learners to become responsible stewards of the environment.

We are already in Rwanda, and in the near future we plan to expand to other countries, including Burundi, South Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania. Our ambition is to make Acorns a recognised regional brand, not just a Ugandan one.
