Our History
Inspired by leading international schools in the region, the founders aimed to provide access to Internationally renowned education programs for Burundian and International students in Burundi and cultivate strong global citizenship.
In September 2018, Cubahiro International School became the first in Burundi to implement the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Curriculum.
The school’s set high standards led to its inauguration by H.E Pierre Nkurunziza, the President of Burundi, on October 15, 2018.
In 2023, Cubahiro International School became the first school in Burundi to express interest to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) program. CIS is now a candidate school for both IBMYP and IBDP.
The founders’ mission is to foster excellence and community service as it is embodied in the school’s motto: ” Striving for excellence and Humility in Service. “
