KIA has welcomed an inaugural class of 32 students to campus last month and has officially launched the secondary school seeking to develop a generation of change-makers, leaders and entrepreneurial thinkers in Burundi. Leading up to the launch, the team at KIA has worked hard to recruit the first class, hire a diverse teaching team, renovate the campus and build the community. The inaugural class of KIA represents 8 of the 18 provinces of Burundi, selected through a competitive application process of over 200 applicants. The students have diverse interests, from the Arts, to medicine to entrepreneurship, but share an eagerness for transform the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
