about us

Our History

Mukono Intergrated Schools was founded in April 2002 with the mission of bridging the then existing gap where learners/students with dyslexia & other language related challenges where least known on the educational landscape at all levels i.e pre-primary, primary, secondary & tertiary. With roots in a 1999 pilot project led by Dr. Eria Paul Njuki, we emerged from a commitment to supporting students who were at high risk of dropping out of school due to a lack of supportive environments to a great extent, MIS is an innovative demonstration hub that ensures access & smooth transition for students with dyslexia and other related learning challenges.

Let us go forward in this battle fortified by conviction that those who labour in the service of a great and good cause will never fail.
