Boarding
A home in the heart of Kigali
LNDC is a boarding school. Our students live together on campus in Kiyovu, sharing study time, meals and friendships, and learning to look after one another in the spirit of gufashanya.
Student life
A community that lives, learns and celebrates together
Beyond lessons, LNDC girls sing, dance, debate, speak, remember and celebrate, as one community.

Rooted in the Gospel
As a Catholic school of the Bernardine Sisters, LNDC puts faith first: Kubaha Imana, respect for God, opens our list of values, and our motto asks that everything be done in love.
Culture
Proud of who we are
Our dancers perform traditional Rwandan dance on the Great Hall stage, beneath the national flag, as they did at the launch of cultural month in May 2023.
