Who We Are

About Saint-Stanislas Ruyenzi

École Primaire Saint-Stanislas Ruyenzi is a private Catholic school under the Diocese of Kabgayi. The school opened on January 6, 2020, and offers two levels of education: Early Childhood (N1 to N3) and Primary (P1 to P6).

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the school has a total of 611 students — 124 in Early Childhood and 487 in Primary — supported by 22 teachers, with 6 teaching at the nursery level and 16 in the primary section.

Beyond regular religious education classes, the school celebrates Mass every Thursday and organizes a short spiritual retreat at the end of each term. Once a year, the school marks its feast day, during which prepared children receive basic sacraments.

Students do more than follow the academic curriculum — they also take part in sports and cultural activities. Since joining cultural competitions last year, the school has won several trophies, and this year football (soccer) was added to its activities. Last year, the school's traditional dance troupe ranked first in Kamonyi District among primary schools, and this year it placed third nationally. The school now fields football teams for boys and girls and is preparing to launch volleyball, basketball, and badminton.

The school is proud of its achievements since it was founded five years ago, and is grateful to everyone who has contributed to its success — teachers, parents, students, and partners. The Year 2023-2024, for the first time, its students passed national exams with a 100% success rate, ranking first in Kamonyi District, fifth in the Southern Province, and 22nd nationwide. Thanks be to God — this performance now places the school first among primary schools for exam success within the Diocese of Kabgayi.
