The International Technical School of Kigali (ITS Kigali) is an offshoot of ESTH-Gasogi.  ESTH-Gasogi was established in 2003 and was initially located at Kagarama Sector in Kicukiro District. At the start, the school had a small number of students, and it has increased after years with the expansion of its infrastructure. Subsequently, in 2006, the school shifted from Kagarama to Gasogi in Ndera Sector. Since 2006 ESTH-Gasogi offered two (2) TVET accredited programmes that are Hotel Operations and Tourism with a student population of over 700 students. ESTH-Gasogi is also known for helping disadvantaged students assess education and excel in national exams.

Since 1st January 2018, a new ownership acquired the school from its founders. Currently, the school is owned by Mr Niyigaba Ignace, whose passion for education has always had his life driven with belief that Education and learning have direct positive effects on economic growth, poverty reduction and human development. He and the management team are highly qualified, competent, proactive, vision-oriented and well-focused with a mixture of rich educational backgrounds. Since 12/07/2018 ESTH-Gasogi under the new ownership and management officially changed its name to International Technical School of Kigali (I.T.S KIGALI) Ltd

A big number of students studied at ESTH are found in different hotels in
Rwanda, as well as national parks, and other tourism areas. The school faced those problems up to 2017, and after the owner sold it. After selling it all the areas of present teachers were paid off, and continue teaching. It is now stable. In response to the rapidly changing economic environment and the process of globalization, the school has made sustained efforts to bring an international perspective to all its activities.

The school management has embarked on establishing internal and processes through developing policies and procedures for all school processes. In the first place, the school has managed to develop a five year strategic plan (ITS Kigali Strategic Plan 2018-2023), a roadmap to achieving strategic objectives and priorities.

We seek to leverage the different expertise and practical experience from industry in program development, delivery and evaluation. This strategic relationship enables the school to re-align its curriculums on a continuous basis so as to produce graduates who are able to meet the expectations of the industry and are relevant at all times. We already have strong ties with a number of local hotels and companies that are well placed to solicit for placements majority of our students.

As International Technical School of Kigali, we lend credence to one’s opinion as children thrive when subject to love, respect and consistency. The various courses at our International Technical School include a robust and age-appropriation curriculum, subduing the burden on them.

Our strategic plans will help foster the young minds, stemming a valuable individual, capable of touching heights in their professional careers. We are an International School in Kigali, interested in developing the student’s capabilities by formulating policies, beneficial in the long run.
