Meet our Head of School
Jason Carpenter
​
Acacia International School’s overarching goal for our students is that they leave us with a well-rounded, biblical worldview as a foundation for a lifetime of kingdom service. To that end, an outstanding education assists our students to discover and explore the world and God Himself as the Creator, Sustainer, and Saviour of the world. Their discovery and learning is supported by a school culture where student, families and faculty all take pride in being a part of our community and students take joy in the hard work of learning. When the time comes for them to move on from our community, Acacia’s students are ready to excel in further education and in positions of godly influence in Uganda and across the world with Integrity, Compassion and Courage.
