St. Ignatius School is more than an educational institution in Rwanda—it’s a beacon of hope and resilience. Established following the tragic 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, our steadfast mission is to foster reconciliation, facilitate reconstruction, and deliver a comprehensive education emphasizing academic excellence, spiritual development, leadership, and social responsibility. With the guiding principles of care, conscience, competence, compassion, and commitment, every student’s journey at St. Ignatius is transformative.

In a groundbreaking move, the Iriza Innovation Hub, owned by St Ignatius School entered into a collaboration agreement with Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, a California-based private, nonprofit, student-centered university that is committed to cultivating diverse health professional leaders who are dedicated to social justice and health equity for underserved populations. This partnership is focused on advancing sports medicine and biomedical sciences in Rwanda, presenting numerous opportunities for students and the wider community.
