Our

promise to families.

At New Light Academy, we know childhood is a short and precious season. We believe it is our responsibility to give children a school that is safe, orderly and kind: classrooms where they are known by name, lessons that follow the Rwanda national curriculum, and teachers who care about who a child is becoming as well as what they can do.

The

New Light Academy difference

We are a Christian day school in Kinyinya, accredited by NESA for pre-primary and primary education. What we offer is simple, and we try to do it well: careful teaching that follows the national curriculum, a school where children feel safe and known, and an open door to the families who trust us with their children.

A Welcome for Every Family

An inclusive school, where questions about a child’s progress or settling in are always welcome.

Teachers Who Know Your Child

Teachers who take time with every child, so that no pupil in the class is a stranger to them.

A Clear Path Through School

The Rwanda national curriculum from Baby Class to P6, taught so that children learn not only to remember, but to think for themselves.

Investing in your child's future.

School fees are a real commitment for any family, and we would rather talk them through with you than print a figure here that may be out of date. Please contact the school office for current fees, what they cover and how to apply, and we will give you a clear and complete answer.

Health and safety

At New Light Academy, your child’s wellbeing comes before everything else. We are accredited by NESA for pre-primary and primary education, and we take the responsibility of caring for other people’s children seriously.

What matters to us:

  • The wellbeing of every child put first, in the classroom and at play
  • A calm and orderly school, where children know that they are cared for
  • Kindness and respect expected of everyone, so that children feel safe with one another
  • Families who can feel confident about the whole of their child’s day
  • Questions about your child’s health, care or safety always welcome at the school office
