Who We Are

Through our unique Plus-STEM program, the school aims to attract the finest talents in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology in Rwanda and East Africa, serving as a catalyst for innovation, entrepreneurship, and future-shaping endeavors. Situated on a sprawling 60-hectare campus in Rwanda’s Bugesera District, a brief forty-five-minute drive from Kigali, the school is designed to accommodate up to 1,000 boarding students.

Ntare Louisenlund School is committed to delivering an exceptional international education, empowering students to seek scholarships at the world’s leading universities. The student body is comprised of two streams, with a portion selected through a rigorous assessment and funded by appropriate scholarships (IB Plus-STEM and STEM Excellence streams), and the remainder consisting of students from across Africa pursuing the IB Diploma with their families financing the education (IB Star Entrepreneurship Stream). Seeking candidacy as an IB World School, Ntare Louisenlund School offers the IB Middle Years Programme and plans to offer Diploma Programme from 2028 onward.
