Kampala Parents' School is a private, mixed day primary school in Nakawa Division, Kampala, set on a 14-acre campus off the Lugogo By-Pass at Naguru. The school traces its start to 1975 and became part of the Ruparelia Group in 2004.

Primary One to Three use the thematic curriculum, and the upper classes study English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Religious Education alongside creative arts and physical education (music, dance and drama; art and IT; and PE). The school stresses discipline, independent and critical thinking, and moral values such as honesty, respect and self-discipline. The campus has spacious classrooms, two libraries, computer rooms with smart boards, a science laboratory, a music room, cookery, tailoring and art rooms, a multi-purpose hall, an amphitheatre for the infant section, a sick bay with a qualified nurse and a modern kitchen. Sports facilities include an international-standard swimming pool, a basketball court and playing fields. Beyond the classroom, pupils join clubs such as music, dance and drama, debate, science and cultural clubs, and take part in special programmes in news writing, handwriting and reading, computer lessons and vocational skills. A day care programme serves the youngest children, and the school serves daily lunch and break tea.
