Who we are
Accredited by Pearson Edexcel International, we offer an international standard of education, based on the UK curriculum, for children from 18months to 18 years. We offer iprimary, iLowerSecondary, IGCSE and IAL examination
How it all started
In 1997 after a period of prayer and fasting, the Lord spoke to Chrissie Chapman and her team about starting a school in Bujumbura. Subsequently, in January 1998, a small school began in Kinindo to educate nine of the orphaned children who were in Chrissie’s care. These children were taught by an expatriate teacher from the U.K., whose living room served as the classroom.
THE SCHOOL'S MISSION
Leadership Team
Principal's Message
The King’s School is a special place to be. This is because it is a school founded solely on scriptural ethos with practical application of the Christian faith in real life situations as we live out our beliefs daily with colleagues and students. A school where the glory of God is our focus and where we serve as educators on a mission. In The king’s School, we aim to please God in all things (1 Corinthians 5:9). The place of honour as the first English speaking school in the nation is something to be cherished and upheld as a cornerstone of our school culture.
It is our goal to grow a school that is premised on love for the Lord, academic excellence and spiritual development for all. As an international School with Pearson Edexcel accreditation, we aim to foster a strong school spirit to encourage our students perform better academically, be spiritually and socially engaged.
High student achievement is our ultimate goal. We desire our students to show pride in their school, aim for academic excellence, be rooted in their faith in Christ Jesus, have positive self esteem and remain relevant as contributing members to the community, wherever they find themselves.
No one takes the honour of leadership upon himself. For this reason, I thank the ARM board, the parents and staff for the opportunity to serve the Lord in The King’s School
Kind regards,
Dr Joyce Abu
