Welcome to Dove International Montessori School
“Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorise, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.”
Doves International Montessori School is the reference Montessori schools in Kigali, Rwanda and is a IB - MYB Candidate School.
We are committed to a culture that fosters respect and compassion and honors the spirit of childhood, each child's unique personality, and their individual needs.
Our small / human scale allows us to offer not only an individualised approach to each student but also hands-on learning that equips the children for the world of today and tomorrow.

Toddlers
Our Toddler program offers very young children a unique environment for self-development in a safe and tender atmosphere of special understanding, respect and support.
Preschool & Kindergarten
The goal of early childhood education should be to cultivate the child’s own natural instinct to learn, encouraging him / her to perfect his or her own skills.
Elementary
The primary curriculum aims to orient the children to the universe helping them to recognize their place in it. Montessori’s vision for the primary child is cosmic in its truest sense.
Secondary School
Our Secondary School program develops academic competencies & global citizenship through the Middle Years Programme (MYP).
DIMS is a Candidate School* for the Middle Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that DIMS believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org
