Christian values must accompany science to succeed in life. We urge them to be the change our country need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further said it was a good step by the school for graduating students at the second time, producing good minds for the future of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks were echoed by Ntaganda Damien who spoke in the name of the board of directors of Wellspring Academy, noting that the school trains students to be good leaders who will transform Rwanda and show difference in the world entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the event, the National Coordinator of the National Early Childhood Development Program, Dr Anita Asiimwe who was also the guest of Honor, said that the graduation day was a great opportunity for students to look back and reflect on the journey that have been covered, but also to prepare themselves for what lays ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs this day ends, take the time to consider every words and memories, but most importantly learn from what happened and strive to be the future great leaders our country needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She further noted that as the school marks 11 years of operations, it was imperative that they take the time to consider what could be done so as to continue training future leaders for the country and the world as the school&#8217;s mission of the school.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Nyarutarama, Wellspring Academy was established by members of Christian Life Assembly and Wellspring Foundation in 2007, with a mission to instill Christian values in students while healing the wounds of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n<p>The school is among the best schools in Kigali and currently has graduated more than 100 students since it was officiated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-25992 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
