Academics
The Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology is a model school of innovative student-centered learning that follows the Rwandan National Curriculum.
Gashora students and teachers work in a collaborative fashion to ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills to reach their full potential and become the future scientists, entrepreneurs, advocates, and thought leaders that the world needs.
We have a hands-on approach to learning, visiting real world applications of subject matter and challenging our students to come up with innovative solutions to real-life challenges.
Technology
The Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology believes that our students must be prepared for 21st century careers, and being able to take full advantage of the tools of technology will open many doors for their future careers.
All students take a class to ensure they know the basics of the Microsoft Office platform and other skills required to be successful in their classes. The school has 2 computer labs with 92 work-stations. When enrolled at Gashora, all students have ample opportunity to become skilled computer users.
English Program
All students study English at Gashora, and classes are conducted in English. Fluency in English is another 21st century skill that we believe is essential for opening up future career opportunities. The goals of the English program are:
To develop both “receptive” language skills (reading and listening) and “expressive” skills (speaking and writing);
To enhance students’ critical reading skills;
To encourage students to write for both classes (like General Paper) and for personal enjoyment (such as poetry);
To prepare students for university.
Upon arrival, every new student will have an English assessment and will be placed appropriately to ensure she can develop her English fluency to the greatest extent possible.
Science Combinations
Currently, the Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology offers the following combinations: PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), MCB (Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology), PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), MPC (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science), MPG (Mathematics, Physics, Geography), MCE (Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics), MEG (Mathematics, Economics, Geography).
All new students will spend at least one week taking all subjects to make an informed decision about the combination they will study for 3 years. It is important to be fully informed about what each subject covers and what the opportunities and challenges are for each combination.
National Exam
Here at Gashora, we understand the importance of doing well on the National Examinations. We are proud to state that to date 100% of our graduates have passed the National Exams.
