Founded in 2016, NLCA-K and NLA were established with a vision of combining academic excellence with Christian values through the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum, raising the next generation of leaders in Rwanda and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anniversary celebration will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at the New Life Bible Church Kigali Auditorium. The event will bring together students, parents, staff, alumni, partners, and members of the wider community to reflect on the schools\u2019 journey and achievements over the past decade under the theme drawn from 1 Samuel 7:12: \u201cEbenezer\u2014thus far the Lord has helped us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 10 years, the schools have grown to serve 371 students across two campuses, offering education from nursery through high school. The institutions seek to equip learners not only with academic knowledge but also with leadership skills, strong moral character, and a Christ-centered worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Fred Isaac Katagwa, Executive Director of Africa New Life Ministries, expressed deep gratitude for God\u2019s faithfulness over the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTen years ago, we stepped out in faith to establish these schools as beacons of Christ-centered excellence. Today, seeing 371 students equipped with academic rigor, moral character, and a biblical worldview is a powerful testimony of what God can do through obedient hearts. As we celebrate this Ebenezer moment, we remain committed to raising a generation of leaders who will transform our nation and the nations for the glory of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebration will feature worship, reflection, and recognition of the students, teachers, families, and partners who have contributed to the schools\u2019 growth and development over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Ingrid Kaneza, Principal of New Life Christian Academy – Kigali, said the schools remain committed to nurturing both the academic and personal growth of their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we see in our students every day\u2014their curiosity, compassion, and faith\u2014is proof that when a school holds firmly to its values, it shapes more than minds; it shapes the future of a nation. We are immensely proud of every child who has walked through these doors, and we look forward to the next ten years with great expectation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
