We are thrilled to share that ASYV’s Class of 2026 had a 100% pass rate on their national exams! And, for the first time, more than 90% of the class achieved an A. We are proud of you, Ishami grade, and of all the members of the ASYV family that supported your journey.

Welcome back, ASYV students! Our Senior 4, 5, and 6 students returned to the Village on Friday for the 2026-2027 academic year, and classes resumed today.

We were excited to welcome all staff back to ASYV yesterday for a back to school seminar and staff retreat to prepare for the academic year together. We're thrilled that our family is reuniting!

Our students are hard at work this summer, completing various internships across Rwanda including at class of '16 alum, Gakuba Padua Louis’ restaurant, Karame. Students have beeen working in the kitchen and guest services, learning skills for working in the hospitality industry.

Happy Umuganura! 🌾 Today we celebrate Rwanda’s National Harvest Day, a tradition that brings communities together to honor hard work, share the fruits of the season, and celebrate unity and gratitude. Umuganura Mwiza from all of us at ASYV! 🇷🇼

We were thrilled to have ASYV student Irakoze Sarah Divine and Student Life Director Brenda Iraba represent Rwanda at the Youth Ambassadors Africa Programme (YA-Africa), a youth leadership and cultural exchange initiative of the @StateDept.

We are excited to announce the AI Teacher Training Program at @asyv in partnership with @DayofAI_USA! From August 10th – 13th, teachers and school leaders across private schools in Rwanda will come together for an intensive 4-day training.

On July 18th, ASYV students performed at Kigali's @UbumuntuArtFest. In celebration of the theme, "Embracing Time: Holding on Together" our students prepared and delivered an original musical theater performance.

Today, July 4th, we celebrate Kwibohora — Liberation Day — marking 32 years since the end of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. From our hillside at Agahozo-Shalom, we honor Rwanda's resilience and the hope that continues to define its journey forward. #Kwibohora32

And just like that, another year has flown by! Our students packed their bags and headed home for summer vacation today. This was an exciting year filled with dancing, learning, playing, and new experiences. We can’t wait to see our family back in September!

To celebrate the end of their Enrichment Year, our 1st-year students hiked to Lake Mugesera for a day of boat rides, games, and bonding. 10 months ago, these students met for the 1st time. Today, they are family. We couldn’t be prouder of all they’ve accomplished in just 1 year.
