Preparation of the Kigali Mission Center
A site of approximately two hectares was prepared for the Kigali Mission Center, laying the foundation for the mission's future community and educational activities.
From the establishment of the Kigali Mission Center to the development of a technical secondary school, our story reflects a commitment to education, service, faith and student achievement.
World Mission High School is a Christian private school established in 2005 by World Mission Frontiers, a faith-based organisation founded by Missionary Paul Kim. The school was established to support students from poor and vulnerable families and help them pursue their educational goals.
Its development began with the Kigali Mission Center, where a site was prepared in 2000 and construction of a chapel and three classrooms began in 2002. The school later expanded its facilities and gradually transitioned from general education to technical secondary education.
This journey reflects the school's continuing commitment to educational opportunity, practical skills and the development of young people in Rwanda.
Important milestones in our development, from the first mission facilities to technical education and academic achievement.
A site of approximately two hectares was prepared for the Kigali Mission Center, laying the foundation for the mission's future community and educational activities.
Construction began on a chapel and three classrooms. These facilities established the physical foundation for the mission center.
The high school opened following the construction of five additional classroom buildings. Founded by World Mission Frontiers under Missionary Paul Kim, the school aimed to help students from disadvantaged families access education and prepare for their future.
The school transitioned from Ordinary Level (Senior 1–3) to Advanced Level (Senior 4–6), offering two general education combinations:
The school administration decided to focus on technical secondary education, with the ambition of becoming a model technical school in Rwanda. Computer Science and Accountancy were introduced under the programmes then offered through the Workforce Development Authority.
World Mission Frontiers renewed its efforts to develop the Kigali Center and improve the school's facilities, supporting a stronger learning environment for students.
Missionary Lee Moon-hee was appointed to serve at the high school. Emphasis was placed on Christian life and student development. The school atmosphere began to change, and local teachers became increasingly motivated to support their students.
By 2017, the school had become a fully technical secondary school, with specialised ICT programmes in:
During its development, the school operated IT and Accounting departments and introduced a Media and Film Department. At one stage, approximately 400 students were enrolled.
Following a nationwide school inspection by Rwanda's Ministry of Education, the school was reported to have ranked 6th among 895 schools nationally, 3rd in Kigali City and 1st in Gasabo District.
During the COVID-19 school closure period, the mission used the opportunity to construct additional classrooms and offices, replace traditional toilets with modern facilities, develop the school garden and build a fence around the school.
The school was reported to have ranked 5th nationally in 2022, continuing its record of academic achievement.
In the 2022–2023 national high school graduation examinations, 19 of 90 graduates reportedly achieved perfect scores of 60 out of 60. One student was recognised as the top student nationally and received an award from the Minister of Education.
On 3 October 2023, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for a new two-storey building designed to address classroom shortages. The planned building included one library and four classrooms.
Building on its history, World Mission High School focuses on practical technical education and competence-based learning.
Students develop programming, application development and problem-solving skills.
Students learn about computer networks, connectivity, internet technologies and network infrastructure.
Students develop creative and technical skills in multimedia content and digital production.
Competence-based learning: The school's technical education follows competence-based training and assessment principles, emphasising the practical application of knowledge and skills.
From the first mission facilities to the growth of technical education, World Mission High School continues its commitment to educational opportunity, student achievement and the development of future generations.
