Our school
Welcome to our school! We’re now in our fifteenth year and we’re stronger than ever... and greatly prouder than ever for the amazing results of our hard work.
My name is Raina Luff and I’ve been the Director of the school since its founding in 2006. In that year we only had twelve students, two teachers and just one classroom. Today we have over 450 students, nineteen teachers and a beautiful two-hectare campus with a sports ground, a music and events hall, a library, a computer lab and fifteen classrooms. But we’re not stopping here...
We recently began construction on a new building with four new classrooms that will accommodate one hundred new elementary students. we are now currently planning construction of a secondary school — with full overnight boarding facilities — scheduled for completion in 2021/2022.
When local parents and I founded the school, we all agreed we wanted to build a school unlike any other school in Muhanga — a place where children would learn to think for themselves, a place where creativity and self-expression would thrive, a place of ethnic, religious and social diversity, a place to incubate the future leaders of Rwanda. And I’m proud to say that’s exactly what we have built:
-
We conduct ALL our classes in English, French and Kinyarwanda.
-
We offer programs in mathematics, science, social social studies, computer technology, art, language, physical education, contemporary and traditional music, dance and drama.
-
We limit the number of children to a class size of 25 pupils (compared with between 45 and 60 in other schools)
-
We are self-financing.
-
At least 25% of our students — orphans or those from poor families — receive their schooling free of charge.
So whether you are a prospective student, a parent or a teacher, feel free to get to know us a little and see what makes us not just the best school in Rwanda, and one of the top elementary schools in East Africa and a model of education in the ‘new’ Rwanda...
