Africa New Life Church, an organization that strives to transform lives and communities through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ and through acts of compassion is one of actors supporting this cause following the opening of a new school in Bugesera district in 2020, which offers courses under ‘Accelerating Christian Education’ program.
It is among few schools in Rwanda with such a program developing children’s intellectual capacity through a combination of science and Godly values.
During the ceremony to close the third school term, the Principal of New Life Leadership, Samuel Mukasa explained that the school nurtures students’ brain with Christ-centered education.
Graduates from the program also stand chance to pursue studies in universities from the United States and more than 45 African countries.
He further stated that the program is very unique considering its course packages.
“The program is unique in the sense that it focuses on Christian-centered education and imparts students with relevant skills enabling them to assume different responsibilities. It also helps students to learn with zeal to achieve great ambitions, “he said.
Besides, Accelerated Christian Education program is individualized and non-graded.
It allows students to work at their own level of achievement, which may vary from subject to subject.
The Executive Director of Africa New Life, Pastor Fred Isaac Katagwa has said that the uniqueness of New Life Leadership Academy lies in leadership skills and virtues students are acquainted with.
“Students will graduate from this academy with critical thinking skills. Our holistic approach also helps to educate students and acquaint them with positive attitudes,” he said.
The school has so far enrolled 70 students since it began operations last year with plans to receive not more than 200 to ensure that students continue attending studies in a favorable learning environment.
Katagwa revealed that the program is meant to raise future leaders from a school where faith meets learning.
Meilla Yves was previously pursuing courses under Rwanda Basic Education (REB) program but has moved to New Life Leadership Academy.
He explained that the curriculum of the academy enables him to work hard and understand courses easily.
Africa New Life works with the Government of Rwanda to train teachers and supports more than 10,000 students across the country.
It also has three affiliated schools some of which are located in Kayonza and Kicukiro districts accommodating approximately 1200 students.
Courses under similar program are also offered at six more schools in Rwanda including Life International Christian Academy (LICA), Trinity International Academy, Cornerstone International Christian Academy, New Kigali Life Christian Academy, Faith Foundation Academy and Springville Christian Academy.
