About us

A Catholic school,
rooted in Nyanza.

Groupe Scolaire Mater Dei Nyanza is a Catholic school serving Nursery, Primary, and Secondary students. Named for Mater Dei — Mother of God — we form children in faith and knowledge together, believing one is never complete without the other.

A Catholic identity at the center

Every student at Mater Dei Nyanza is formed in the Catholic faith — through daily prayer, catechism, and the sacraments — alongside a full academic curriculum. We hold that educating the mind and forming the soul are the same mission, entrusted to us under the protection of Mater Dei, Mother of God.
