The present study was conducted to investigate the perceptions of protestant school leaders on the relationship between the protestant school profile and quality education in Rwanda. The choice of the topic was based on the recognized contribution of the protestant school profile to quality education improvement and on the research gap on this relationship in Rwanda. The research process was guided by the following main research question: What are the perceptions of protestant school leaders on the protestant school profile and its relation with quality education? To achieve the study objective, a qualitative research approach was adopted using a semi-structured interview to collect data by use of theoretical sampling. For data analysis, qualitative content analysis was used. Through the abduction process, three types of profiles were generated, including vocation-based, Institution-based, and socio-spiritual profiles. The discussion of the results in light of the existing literature highlights a positive contribution of the protestant school profile to quality education, limited to quality output. Additionally, the discussion demonstrates a positive contribution of the protestant school profile to the promotion of unity and reconciliation in Rwanda, to the economic development of Rwanda, as well as to the promotion of religious plurality. Finally, recommendations are addressed to different stakeholders in protestant education in Rwanda including school leaders, school owners, the protestant council of Rwanda, and the Ministry of education.
