DS Students share the gospel in their own words. Watch and praise the Lord with us! Discovery School Burundi

More pics of last Friday's teacher seminar at Discovery School. The teachers spent time doing research to see how we can move our school environment closer to the one God created in Eden: beauty, order, relationships, a balance of work and rest... They enjoyed being in control of the seminar content for a change. #DSTeachersasResearchers #Discovery School Burundi

Hi, I am a primary school teacher from Morecambe, England and we have a class blog where we find out where people are visiting from. We have had people from about 50 different countries so far visiting the blog and it either comes up with a dot on our map or a flag in the flag counter! The children find it fascinating and love learning about the world. If you have a second to click on our school blog that would be fantastic - the link is

Private Christian Pre-School, Primary & Secondary School
"Rooted in Christ, Ready for Tomorrow" Our History

Our current brick buildings were originally built with the help of Carl and Eleanor Johnson (Jesse’s grandparents) in 1985 to house a primary school.

The school followed the government curriculum, but it taught the Bible as well. School fees and teachers’ salaries were subsidized by the missionaries. The school ran for 8 years. During the war, the school was forced to close because it was unsafe for any children to walk to and from school or even to gather in large groups. Refugee families moved into the classrooms. When Jesse and Joy Johnson a

rrived in Burundi in 2006 and the Emmanuel Churches found out Joy was a teacher, they immediately mentioned the possibility of reopening the school. We refused since we were unwilling to start a project that would be completely dependent on us financially and would fold if we left the country. They brought up the idea again in 2008. By then the climate in Burundi was very different than it was in 2006. By the summer of 2008 the war was over, the refugee families living in the classrooms had been able to safely relocate, a new middle class was emerging, and our side of town was at last experiencing a bit more prosperity. After the war, the government educational system was in shambles. Many parents from our neighborhood (a mix of Catholics, Muslims, and Protestants) were driving their children across town to private preschools. We realized a private preschool could reach this new demographic with both good education and the gospel. We recognized that it was a pivotal time in Burundi—a time where a small investment from us could make a huge difference for the country, and so we dove in. The Discovery School opened in the fall of 2008 with approximately 90 students—one class of three year olds and one class of four year olds. In its second year the school doubled in size to 184 students with two classes of three year olds, one class of four year olds, and one class of five year olds. In the 2010-2011 school year attendance reached 294. The preschool and primary school were separated into two buildings. The preschool was complete with a nursery class of two year olds and two classes each of three and four year olds. The primary school served students in first and second grade. The Future

We discovered within the first few months of operation that parents were a bit unsettled at the idea of their children trying the American system of education in Preschool and then being thrust back into the French system for Primary School. We agreed with them that it would be better if the Discovery School continued at least through the end of Middle School (Grade 9). Thus it is our hope that in seven years the Discovery School will include a full preschool, primary, and middle school (2 year old nursery through grade nine). There will be two classrooms for each grade, each with 40-50 students. At that point we will gainfully employ at least fifty Burundians. To proceed with this plan, we need to add two more groups of students to the school in the 2011-2012 school year—a second class of five year olds and a Grade Three. We have room for these new classes due to some portable buildings we were able to purchase from the UN. We also have room for the two groups of students that will be added in the 2012-2013 school year. By fall of 2013, however, we need a new building. Lord willing, the new building will have two stories. The top floor will house the Discovery School’s middle school. The bottom floor will house the New Horizon’s Learning Center, a branch of the Discovery School that will serve children that have learning disabilities or are in need of speech therapy. Please pray with us that God will provide the funds needed for this building. Our Goals

First—To share the gospel clearly with all the children that attend our school and all family members who attend school functions. Second—To help Burundi’s children (and by extension the country at large) by offering them a quality education (as close to the top level available in Burundi as possible, but at a fraction of the cost of the top level schools). This will consist of raising up a group of children with good critical thinking skills (noticeably lacking from the local educational systems) and the ability to speak English (a skill that will open a world of resource and business opportunities for them since Burundi has just joined the East African Community). Third—To help Burundi’s workforce (and by extension the country as a whole) by offering salaried positions and by providing free training to those we hire (expanding their knowledge of the world, their critical thinking skills, and their ability to speak English as well as their knowledge of pedagogy). Fourth—To create a self-sustaining, for-profit venture that assists the Emmanuel Churches in their operations and builds their outreach capacity. Fifth—To create a place where English-speaking visitors can impact Burundi’s children through education.

24/02/2022

Yesterday was International Mother Language Day, so local news journalists came to interview us about how Discovery, as an English-system school, incorporates Kirundi. This is something we try to do well, so we were happy to speak to them. Hopefully the report will play on Startimes channel 125 at 19h on Saturday. Let's see!

Funeral today. 800 people in attendance. They all stood and prayed for Mia, who is in the white blanket being held by her aunt. May God continue to comfort Yvone's family.

Please pray for this heartbreaking situation! Two DS teachers each married one of a set of identical twins, Rachel and Yvonne. Both couples had babies due this month. Yvonne had an emergency c-section last week and then went to be with the Lord just before dawn yesterday as a result of post-partum complications. Her husband Delphin is grieving deeply, and little Mia (in the pink blanket with the IV port) is without a Mommy. Rachel delivered just this morning and is having trouble believing Yvonne is really gone... Please pray for them and for our whole community.

Please pray for our seniors as they work through the process of applying to universities and looking for scholarships, often working on their phones as they don't have computers at home. Students have been accepted to universities in the UK, the US, and South Korea so far, which is encouraging (They deserve it! I am so proud of them!) but full scholarships are elusive and universities cost so much these days that even 75% scholarships leave daunting amounts....

Our drumming team is getting ready to perform at our first graduation later this year. The Burundi drummers are famous, and drums are an incredibly symbolic part of culture here. The word for drum is the same as the word for throne-- they are a symbol of authority, among other things. Each part of the drum has a specific name and meaning...
