About

Our school

Holistic, learner-centred and values-based education in Mutare.

Mutare First Steps Schools is a private school. Learners follow Zimbabwe’s national curriculum and, at the same time, learn through projects, practical work and leadership.

We hold high expectations for achievement and we prepare learners for examinations. We also insist that knowledge must be usable: children should be able to explain their reasoning, apply ideas, and keep going when the work is hard.

  • Foundational literacy, numeracy and essential competencies
  • Conceptual understanding rather than rote memorisation alone
  • Projects, investigations and hands-on experience
  • Assessment used to improve teaching, not only to rank children
  • Personalised support, remediation and enrichment
