Learning Kinyarwanda will allow and facilitate better communication between members, their families, and friends of the Rwandan community. It is also an asset for those with personal and professional interests in Rwanda and for the Rwandan community in general.

The course is for anyone wishing to learn Kinyarwanda whether or not they have a basic literacy. The minimum age required is 8 years old.

An oral and written evaluation as a preliminary step will be offered to each person who wishes to register for the course. This assessment will determine the level of understanding of Kinyarwanda and will help to assign the appropriate level.

Three levels will be offered. The results of the evaluation will determine the level: In the 2023-2024 school year, 36 classes will be held on Sundays. The registration deadline is September 8, 2023.
