The Rwanda School Project, based in Santa Rosa, California, supports secondary education initiatives in Rwanda. Since its founding, it opened Rwamagana Lutheran School in 2010 to offer a secure, nurturing environment intended to develop vulnerable youth into leaders and problem solvers who focus on environmental sustainability and social transformation. The organization operates with a small team dedicated to educational improvement in the Rwandan context. To prepare for climate- and economy-related changes, the school places Environmental Studies at the core of its high school curriculum. The program also reflects Expeditionary Learning, a framework used in many U.S. schools, to emphasize teamwork, critical thinking, literacy, and student responsibility for learning. Graduates are anticipated to pursue roles such as sanitation managers, transportation specialists, green architects, civil engineers, family planners, and materials science developers.
