Growing knowledge, character, and confidence.<\/h2>\n

Two Wings International School is a bilingual learning community in Kigali serving children from daycare and nursery through Cambridge Primary, with a secondary pathway developing.<\/p>\n

We want every child to feel safe, known, challenged, and joyful\u2014and to leave school equipped not only with knowledge, but also with the judgement and character to use it well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Why \u201cTwo Wings\u201d?<\/h2>\n

The name Two Wings expresses a simple view of education: children flourish when knowledge and character grow together, like the two wings of a bird.<\/p>\n

One wing is intellectual and scientific education\u2014the development of literacy, numeracy, inquiry, creativity, and disciplined thought.<\/p>\n

The other is moral and character education\u2014the development of truthfulness, respect, compassion, courage, responsibility, cooperation, and service.<\/p>\n

This whole-person understanding is inspired in part by a Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed view of human development and is expressed at Two Wings in a welcoming, inclusive way for families of every faith and background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Knowledge that opens doors<\/h3>

Through bilingual learning and the Cambridge pathway, learners build strong foundations, ask thoughtful questions, test ideas, communicate clearly, and become increasingly independent.<\/p><\/div>\n

Character that gives direction<\/h3>

Academic ability matters most when it is guided by honesty, empathy, self-discipline, fairness, and care for others. These qualities are practised in lessons, routines, friendships, and service.<\/p><\/div>\n

Learning with purpose<\/h3>

We help children connect what they know with how they act, so they can make wise decisions, solve real problems, contribute to their communities, and keep learning throughout life.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Every child deserves both wings.<\/h2>\n

The name also points to a wider truth: humanity advances when girls and boys are equally valued and equally able to learn.<\/p>\n

Just as a bird cannot fly with one wing, communities cannot reach their full potential when either girls or boys are denied opportunity. At TWIS, every learner is encouraged to participate, lead, and aspire across languages, science, mathematics, technology, the arts, sport, and service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

How our philosophy shapes school life<\/h2>\n\n
\n

Bilingual confidence<\/h3>

English and French are part of daily life, helping children express themselves, access a wider world of learning, and move confidently across cultures and communities.<\/p><\/div>\n

Cambridge academic pathway<\/h3>

Clear learning goals, strong foundations, and active inquiry prepare children for each next stage while protecting curiosity, creativity, and the joy of discovery.<\/p><\/div>\n

A caring community<\/h3>

Teachers work to know each child well. Safety, healthy routines, friendship, emotional growth, respectful behaviour, and partnership with families are part of the educational experience.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Learning, creating, and growing together<\/h2>\n

School life brings both wings together\u2014focused study, joyful exploration, collaboration, creativity, movement, reflection, and care for others.<\/p>\n\n
