The Rwanda School Project's mission is to provide high quality secondary education in Rwanda.  We opened Rwamagana Lutheran School in 2010 to offer a secure and nurturing school environment that transforms vulnerable youth into future leaders and problem solvers who champion environmental sustainability and social change.

We are doing some things differently at our secondary school to raise future leaders and close the wide gap between the skills of Rwandan graduates and the global average.  At Rwamagana Lutheran School, we are working to make Environmental Studies a key focus of our high school curriculum so that students are prepared for the radical changes in economy and environment that are accompanying climate change. Rwanda is Africa's most densely populated country, and its challenges in resource management and protection are significant. We expect that graduates from our school will be future sanitation managers, transportation specialists, green architects, civil engineers, family planners and materials science developers.

Since we began in 2010, we’ve also been using Expeditionary Learning as our pedagogical framework, a school reform model active in 165 schools in the USA. Expeditionary Learning (EL) schools focus on teamwork, critical thinking, a culture of literacy, inquiry-based science and math, and student responsibility for learning: skills that will propel students to become leaders and change-makers in their communities and their work.
