As part of its commitment to experiential learning, Saint Paul International School (SPIS) organised an educational trip for Upper Primary and Secondary students to the Ethnography Museum in Huye and the King’s Palace Museum in Nyanza. Accompanied by their teachers and the Principal, students had the opportunity to explore Rwanda’s history, culture, and heritage beyond the classroom.
The educational visit provided students with valuable insights into Rwanda’s rich cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations. By experiencing history first hand, students were able to connect classroom learning with real-life experiences, making their studies more meaningful and engaging.
Reflecting on the trip, Abiel Zola, a Senior 4 student, shared:
“I am grateful to have been part of Saint Paul International School’s Annual Trip 2026. The trip helped me gain a deeper understanding of Rwandan culture and history. I was also able to relate many of the experiences to subjects such as Geography, which enhanced my learning. Overall, the experience was fantastic and truly memorable.”
Another student, Ajeneza Itta Ammar from P6C, described the visit as both educational and inspiring. She enjoyed exploring the former royal residence at the King’s Palace Museum in Nyanza, admiring the magnificent Inyambo (traditional royal cows), and discovering the fascinating exhibitions at the Ethnography Museum in Huye.
According to her, the experience broadened her understanding of Rwanda’s history, culture, and national heritage.
At Saint Paul International School, educational trips are an essential part of the learning experience. They provide students with opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, foster critical thinking and curiosity, and develop a deeper appreciation of Rwanda’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
