Principle’s Welcome Message

Welcome to Highland School!

As the founder and principle, it is both an honor and a joy to witness the daily growth and transformation of our young learners. From the beginning, our vision has been to create a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child is valued, challenged, and supported to reach their fullest potential.

I actively oversee the implementation of our school’s vision and mission by working closely with our senior management team—offering guidance, mentorship, and a shared commitment to excellence. Together, we ensure that Highland remains a place where curiosity is encouraged, diversity is celebrated, and every learner is empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for choosing to be part of the Highland community. I invite you to explore our vibrant school and see firsthand how we are shaping the global citizens of tomorrow—one child at a time.

 

Warm regards,
Edward Munyaburanga
