Umubano Academy is APIE’s pilot project in Kigali.
At the heart of our model stands Umubano Academy. The word umubano is Kinyarwanda for co-operation; and Umubano Academy embodies this spirit of working together on a local, national and international scale.
Through a combination of strong local leadership and international expertise, the school has become recognised as a centre of excellence in Kigali, ranked third in a 2017 Schools Peer Review (out of 215) and best in its district; rated 95% in a recent government inspection; and has recently become Rwanda's first Lead School for Peace.
Staff are able to demonstrate best practice in a range of subjects, including ICT, Early Childhood Education, Special Educational Needs and Education for Peace. The school is also rapidly becoming a hub of professional development practice, with the aim of improving the quality of education for all children, teachers and communities in Rwanda.
