Lycée du Saint Esprit
Lycée du Saint Esprit (Lyceum of the Holy Spirit) is a public secondary school, located in Gihosha, in the City of Bujumbura, Burundi. The school was founded in 1952 as “Collège Interracial d’Usumbura” (Interracial College of Usumbura) at Kiriri. In 1959 it was renamed “Lycée du Saint Esprit.” The school moved from Kiriri to Gihosha on 12th September 1992.
Lycée du Saint Esprit is a day school open to all young men and women who fulfill the conditions of admission as specified by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Burundi.

Currently, the school runs four departments in the A’ Level section: Modern Languages, Sciences A (Mathematics-Physics), Sciences B (Biology-Chemistry), and Economics.
Faithful to the Ignatian tradition, the Lycée du Saint Esprit aims to provide an integral human and Christian formation. This is achieved by promoting personal reflection and communion with Christ. In addition to acquiring knowledge and know-how through academics, the students are encouraged to pay attention to events in their surroundings and the world. Such formation invites students to adopt an attitude of service towards their fellow human beings. It is in this sense that a student of Lycée du Saint Esprit is formed to be a man or woman for others. Contact Us : +257 66 50 47 89

Ecole Fondamentale Saint Louis de Gonzague
Ecole Fondamentale Saint Louis de Gonzague is located in a rural area, on the hills of Nyabiyorwa, just outside Bujumbura. The Nyabiyorwa neighbourhood is very poor, having served as a base for rebel movements which have been destabilizing the country since 1972. Over the years, education has been undermined in Nyabiyorwa owing to the recruitment of child-soldiers. As a haven for anti-government militia groups, few development efforts could be undertaken and the population lives in abject poverty.
The Jesuits of the Rwanda - Burundi region took this situation into account when founding a school that provides a basic education to children. The school project started in 2004 and today counts 12 classrooms and more than 850 pupils.
The school continues to face a number of challenges, not least getting qualified teachers who are willing to brave the mountainous relief of Nyabiyorwa. The current infrastructure is also inadequate for the growing number of students and will soon need to be complemented by new classrooms.Contact Us : +257 65298921

Mizero Techinical Secondary School
In the vicinity of the town of Kamembe, in the district of Rusizi, western part of Rwanda, no further than 5km from the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rusizi I, is built a Technical Vocational Education and Training School, Mizero TVET School formerly known as MIZERO Center. Literally translated from Kinyarwanda to English, the name of “Mizero” means “HOPE”. MIZERO is a Jesuit school helped by the government of Rwanda for a few years. It dates from 1997 and takes its genesis from the Center for Unaccompanied Children (Genocide survivors), the famous CENA. CENA is a French acronym for Centre des Enfants NonAccompagnés. Its aim was to form and reintegrate all unaccompanied children into the society by instilling hope in them as its name MIZERO suggests and implies.
The Society of Jesus throughout the world has set itself as its mission the propagation of faith and the promotion of justice. It is in this regard that she works for the salvation of souls. Among its universal apostolic preferences of the Society of Jesus, the Society of Jesus aims at accompanying young people in the creation of a hope-filled future.
