1. Principal's Message
As we conclude the first term of the 2024-2025 academic year, I am overwhelmed with pride and gratitude for the incredible progress we have achieved together. Our journey has begun with tremendous enthusiasm, and I sincerely thank every parent for their unwavering support.
This year, our enrollment has surged from 105 students last year to 180, representing an increasingly diverse community with families from Kenya, Uganda, Canada, Syria, South Sudan, Rwanda, DR Congo, Burundi, the USA, India, the UK, Liberia, South Africa, and Egypt, among others. This growth reflects your trust in our mission and inspires us to continue delivering excellence.
Our unique hybrid program of the Canadian and Cambridge education systems is thriving, fostering individual talents while nurturing collaboration. It is heartening to see our students flourish in an environment that cultivates critical life skills and prepares them to excel as both individuals and team players.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated teachers, whose adaptability and innovation have been instrumental in delivering a transformative learning experience.
In response to valuable feedback, we have enriched our curriculum by introducing Traditional Dance and Moral Values, ensuring our students connect with cultural and ethical foundations. Additionally, extracurricular activities such as football, basketball, piano, and Francophonie productions have brought excitement and engagement, all offered at no extra cost.
Looking ahead, Term 2 will run from November 26, 2024, to March 18, 2025, with further enhancements to support holistic development. I am confident that together, we will continue inspiring and shaping future leaders.
Thank you for being an essential part of the High Gate International Academy family
Warm regards,
Mr. Michel Shamamba
