Common questions, answered.

TEACH Rwanda builds the capacity of whole schools, so Rwandan children learn through play, projects and purposeful practice. We mentor teachers directly in the classroom rather than running one-off workshops.

Our headquarters are in Kigali. We operate Bright School in Muhanga, Southern Province, Rwanda, alongside a growing network of partner schools.

A combination of locally rooted and international expertise. An in-country team of Rwandan educators runs the work day to day. They're backed by a USA governing board responsible for strategy and financial oversight, a Rwandan Advisory Board, and a USA Advisory Council of specialists.

Our teacher mentoring cycle: observe a working play-based classroom, then join a workshop and mentoring cycle with your own learners. Module 1 observation is free and open to any teacher.

Three modules, each building on the last. Observe: time in a working classroom where TEACH Rwanda Standards are in daily practice. Learn: four full days of small-group workshops held at or near your school. Mentor: in-classroom coaching with your own learners, with goals set together with your school leadership.

Roughly two years. That is how long it takes for a teaching habit to actually change, which is why T4T is built as a cycle rather than a one-off event.

Teachers and school leaders. Leaders join the goal-setting and learn how to support good practice through timetabling, materials and classroom arrangement. If you want a whole school approach, invite your administrators, Librarians, operations HR and finance teams to join – everybody becomes an advocate for high quality, inclusive, hands-on learning.
