Since the institution first began its operations in 2014 with that initial group of 68 students, it has maintained a consistent focus on educational delivery within the local community.
L'évolution de la structure scolaire montre des changements dans sa composition au fil des années. L'école compte actuellement 64 élèves et 33 enseignants.

The stability of these academic outcomes has been a hallmark of the school's operations throughout its twelve-year history, ensuring that every student who has passed through the institution since its inception in 2014 has met the requirements for graduation.
Gilbert Rucintango, directeur de l'école, a souligné la portée de ces résultats lors de la cérémonie. "L'obtention d'un certificat ou d'un diplôme ne constitue pas une fin en soi, mais plutôt le début d'un long parcours de vie", a déclaré Gilbert Rucintango. The presence of Richard Butoke and Onesphore Niyomwungere alongside Gilbert Rucintango showed the importance of the event for the Femme volontaire et secours organization and FVS-Amie des Enfants.
