Green Hills Academy

Green Hills Academy is a full-continuum IB World School. Children follow the Primary Years Programme from Nursery 1 to Grade 5, built around six transdisciplinary units of inquiry, then the Middle Years Programme from Grade 6 to Grade 10. In Grades 11 and 12, students choose between the IB Diploma Programme and the IB Career-related Programme.

The school is divided into four sections. The nursery school follows the IB PYP through play-based inquiry, and the primary school continues the PYP from Grade 1 to Grade 5. The middle school delivers the MYP for students aged roughly 11 to 16, and the high school covers Grades 9 to 12, completing the MYP in Grades 9 and 10 before the Diploma or Career-related Programme in Grades 11 and 12.

Green Hills Academy aims to nurture an ambitious and caring generation through its core values of integrity, intellectual curiosity and inclusivity, together with ambition and global-mindedness. The school seeks to develop critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, self-confidence and resilience, preparing learners for a rapidly changing world in a safe and caring community.

Trained counsellors offer one-on-one support with an open-door policy, conflict resolution through mediation and restorative practices, and university and careers guidance. An Inclusive Learner Support Program helps students with different learning needs, and the dining hall serves hot, balanced meals daily, with menus reviewed by student committees.

GHA runs a residential programme for nearly 100 learners, supervised by house parents and academic mentors. Options include full boarding, weekly boarding from Monday to Friday and short-term boarding for families who travel. Boarders attend a supervised study hall six days a week, where staff check homework and support learning after school hours.

GHA offers more than 35 clubs and extracurricular activities from nursery to Grade 12, covering sports, arts, technology and service. Sports include football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, table tennis, badminton, karate and aerobics, and students can also take part in traditional Rwandan dance, STEM and creative arts activities after school.
