STELLA
SCHOOL
Stella School is located in the district of Kamonyi in the Southern Province of Rwanda, 15 kilometres from Kigali. Our vision is to provide quality education that is affordable and accessible to all in Rwanda, especially those who would not otherwise attend school due to poverty and lack of opportunity. Instead of going to school, these children spend their time fetching food from door to door. Of the children who do get a chance to go to school, they must travel long distances, and many end up dropping out. Orphans remain uneducated due to lack of appropriate care and follow up.
Educational Challenges in Rwanda
Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Africa. Its economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture by local farmers using simple tools. In 2023, the population of Rwanda was estimated to be over 14 million, with a density among the highest in Africa – 512 people per square kilometre. As the population increases, land for agriculture decreases. One of the country’s strategies to upgrading economically is to emphasize the education sector as a way to fight illiteracy, build capacity, and encourage a sustainable economy.
Vision & Mission
Stella Schools seeks to provide leading schools across Rwanda, nurturing future leaders with academic excellence by delivering high-quality bilingual education that ignites intellectual curiosity and empowers students to reach their full potential. We foster a caring and supportive environment where students learn empathy and respect for others. We are dedicated to academic excellence and the holistic development of each student. We encourage students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and express themselves confidently. We value collaboration and partnerships with parents, teachers, and the community to create a nurturing learning environment.
Our Philosophy
We believe in fostering a love of learning within a safe, inclusive environment. We will integrate the Rwandan National Curriculum with a focus on:
Active Learning: Students will engage in hands-on activies, project-based learning, and exercises that encourage crical thinking.
Individualized Instruction: We recognize the diverse learning needs of each student and will cater to these needs through personalized instruction.
Holistic Development: We emphasise the intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical growth of each student.
Cultural Awareness: Students will develop an appreciation for Rwandan culture and gain a broader understanding of the global community.

If you have a heart for uplifting needy and vulnerable children in the society, we would love your contribution towards two additional blocks to expand the recreation area and house the teachers. The project will continue to add a Secondary School on land already purchased. You can also sponsor a child.
