Mission & Vision
Our Vision
To become a leading technical secondary school that produces skilled, innovative, and ethical young people who contribute to sustainable development in Rwanda and beyond — creating a generation of confident, self-reliant professionals and entrepreneurs.
Our Mission
To provide quality competency-based technical education that equips learners with practical skills, knowledge, values, and an entrepreneurial mindset — preparing them for employment, self-reliance, and meaningful service to their communities and to Rwanda's development.
Our Core Values
These values shape every aspect of life at CEPEM TSS — from the classroom to the workshop, from student conduct to staff leadership.
Excellence
We pursue the highest standards in learning, practical work, and personal conduct. Every student is encouraged to give their best and take pride in quality output.
Discipline & Responsibility
We build the habits, focus, and accountability that underpin success — in school, in the workplace, and in life. Students learn to own their actions and their growth.
Integrity & Respect
We act honestly, fairly, and with deep respect for every person — regardless of background. Trust, transparency, and dignity are non-negotiable in our community.
Innovation & Self-Reliance
We encourage creative thinking, problem-solving, and the entrepreneurial confidence to create opportunities. Our graduates are equipped to build their own futures.

A school where every learner can grow
Welcome to CEPEM Technical Secondary School. Since our founding in 2009, we have been committed to one clear purpose: giving every young person who walks through our doors the skills, confidence, and character they need to build a meaningful future.
At CEPEM TSS, education is not only about passing examinations. It is about developing competent, responsible, and innovative individuals who are ready to contribute to Rwanda's growth. Our programmes in Tourism, Food and Beverage Operations, and Building Construction are delivered through a competency-based approach that combines rigorous classroom learning with real-world practical training and industrial attachment.
We are proud of our dedicated team of teaching and administrative staff who work tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment. We are equally proud of our graduates who are now working as tour guides, chefs, restaurant supervisors, construction technicians, and entrepreneurs across Rwanda and beyond.
I invite you to explore what CEPEM TSS has to offer. Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, or a potential partner — we welcome you, and we look forward to building something great together.
