For families
Choosing a school usually means asking around, driving between schools and calling numbers that no longer work. The directory brings the basics together: where the school is, who owns it, whether it takes boarders, and how to reach it.
When you find a school you like, fill in the short application on its page. If the school is on IWAT, your application goes straight to its admissions office. If not, our team contacts the school for you. Either way you get a reference number and can check your application at any time.
For schools
Every school in our lists already has a page. Claim yours for free to add your logo, photos, fees ranges, levels, facilities, WhatsApp number and an admissions note, and to receive applications from families in a simple dashboard. Directory Plus (UGX 150,000 a term) puts your school at the top of your district and removes the small commission on learners who join through your page.
