New Parents with more than three children are be offered a 60% discount on the total admission fee.
In an email to CEO East Africa Magazine, Mr Rajiv said that the special concessions are to allow “convenience and affordability for parents”, both old and new with more than one child.
“Because of both the good performance and a holistic education offered at Kampala Parents, we know that sometimes parents have to make the difficult choice of bringing only children in upper primary to us while leaving those in lower classes in other schools- which is of course inconveniencing. This offer is to allow parents, enjoy uniform education for their children, as well as the convenience and affordability of educating their children in the same world-class school,” he said.
