Academics
Six years of continuous science education, from Ordinary Level through four Senior Six specializations.
- 01
S1 – S3
Ordinary Level
Three years of general secondary education across the sciences and core subjects: the foundation every student builds on before choosing a science stream.
- 02
S4 – S5
Advanced Level science streams
Students choose between two combinations: MS1 (Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) or MS2 (Mathematics, Physics, Economics, Geography).
- 03
S6
Senior Six specializations
The MS1 and MS2 streams branch into four final combinations: MCB, MPG, MCE, and MEG, each preparing students for national examinations and further study.
How science is taught here
Coursework is built to be practiced, not only read. Assessment includes project-based science work alongside written examinations: students carry out original studies and visit working sites relevant to their subjects, rather than studying science only from a textbook.
In practice
A biology study of the urinary system
Biology students carried out an original project-based study of the human urinary system as part of their coursework assessment.
A field trip to the Nzove water-treatment plant
Students visited Kigali's Nzove water-treatment plant to study water treatment as a working process, connecting classroom chemistry and biology to a real facility.
