Secondary School Principal
Hello! My name is Jordon Bright, and I am the High School and Middle School Principal here at Kigali International Community School.
It is such a gift to serve this community and to invest in young people preparing for takeoff into their choice universities and various careers. What an opportunity we have as educators to partner with parents in training up the young men and women that will be the leaders of tomorrow. Stewarding this task well takes a village and is a privilege and something we will always pursue.
In KICS Secondary, we work to foster independence, efficiency, confidence and a biblical worldview with our students. Students will learn to advocate for themselves while developing life-long learning appreciation, organizational skills and personal priorities that lead to success. Our teachers know that each student is unique and requires teaching content in different ways. We enroll 165+ students making up our grades 6-12. We currently serve 21+ different cultures, offering over 75 courses (Advanced Placement included). Student-led clubs are encouraged, extracurricular activities include athletics, arts, music and performing arts. Student activities are thriving and we continue to find exciting new ways to engage our young students while also being intentional about building up their character.
Students must give an educational and faith defense as they transition from 8th grade to 9th and as a graduation requirement. We pray daily for our students and work hard to create a spiritual greenhouse for students from all faith backgrounds to grow in their understanding and relationship with Jesus Christ. Our students learn what it means to live a life of service and to give back to opportunities going Beyond the Gates to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus. We teach with the end goal in mind, to see our KICS Kites successfully soaring as they impact the world for Christ!
Soar high, Kites!
