This school was founded way back in 2004, after the tragic history of Genocide which was witnessed by this country, it was therefore imperative to put in place teaching/learning mechanisms, that would help the children who had experienced trauma, who needed love and happiness thus, reintroducing the trust among them. We have about 1,070 pupils, who are cared for by their teachers, and each and every teacher has a helper, as a way ensuring that pupils internalize what they learn.”
She put an emphasis on the fact that the school focuses on quality education, and putting learners at the forefront, through identifying what the child is capable of and what he isn’t capable of, so as to make a follow-up which is relevant to the child’s capability, with special emphasis on discipline.

She further called on the parents to work collaboratively with them, in order to facilitate their work regarding catching up as far as the completion of the school syllabus is concerned.
