St Georges College

Founded in 1896 in Bulawayo, St George’s moved to Harare (Salisbury) in 1927, because the current site allowed much greater room for expansion which was inevitable in a young and developing region.

Aspiring to the highest academic standards, (over the years thirty-eight of its alumni have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships) the College has an enrolment of 700 pupils from Form 1 (Year 8) to Form Upper Six (Year 13), including a Boarding Department of over a hundred pupils. St George’s offers the public examinations of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), with a choice of sixteen subjects at IGCSE Level, and thirteen subjects at Advanced Level, in order to cater for the varying interests, needs and abilities of its pupils. The tuition is $2 550.00usd a term.

Gateway High School

GATEWAY HIGH SCHOOL is an International, Independent, co-educational, Interdenominational Christian, secondary day school in the northern suburbs of Harare which opened in 1991 and has since become established as a leading player and voice in Independent schools in Zimbabwe.
The school welcomes children of all abilities, backgrounds and creeds and introduces them to a caring and committed community with an emphasis on the equal importance of each child, where their worth is not dependent on position, power, popularity, personality, pass marks or parents but on their unique, special status as a human being created in the image of God and saved by the love of Christ.
The school seeks to be relevant in the community, dynamic in approach, fresh in thinking, fruitful in efforts, biblical in principle. Just as the Bible states that “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, in favour with God and with man” so we strive to help our pupils grow intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially. The emphasis in these areas is not to produce instant success but to develop life-long habits. It is this emphasis on an all-round education that helps children to be principled, well-rounded, equipped to reach their full potential and prepared for life and service.

LomaGandi College

Here at the College we aim to encourage each pupil to be a self-confident, well-rounded individual. We aim to propel them to the highest level of achievement in both academics and extra-curricular activities to provide them with the life skills they will need when they leave the College and to prepare them to be of value to society.

The College is a warm community which lives out high standards and is rightly proud of its achievements. We are a small enough School for each pupil to be known well, but large enough to offer a wide range of subjects and experience.

Cornway College

Our vision is to give people meaning education. We did not chase the money, we chased our dream and success followed. Being successful has enabled Cornway to do good all round, sports, arts, music and other activities.
