1. St. George’s College

• a private Catholic boys school (Form One to Upper Six) based in Harare, Zimbabwe. It is arguably the oldest formal school established in Zimbabwe..The school is a boys school, whereby young adolescents enter-‘Salvete’ and leave the college -‘Valete’ as young men; Boys To Men. In the 1990’s, for Physic Science, young women of high intellect, from the Dominican Convent, were enrolled for the senior years (Lower Six & Upper Six). The school is presently located in the Capital City, Harare on Hartmann Hill, in the leafy suburb of Borrowdale
• This lead to the relocation of the school site from Bulawayo to Harare.Thus the beginning of Saint George’s College, affectionately known as (Saints).On the same site, a preparatory primary school was established called Hartmann House.This site is next to the official Zimbabwe State House, and the Official President’s House called Zimbabwe House.
• It is a very competitive School for one to enter,as an entrance examination has to be taken to enter Form One, and Lower Sixth Form.Students coming from Hartmann House are exempt from these exams as they automatically enter Saints.

• Founded in 1955 as an independent, Anglican boarding school for boys aged 12 to 18, it has now expanded to include two other schools as well: a co-educational preparatory school, Springvale House and Peterhouse Girls’ School. The schools are controlled by a Board of Governors who include: Dr N A F Williams (Patron), Mr J D Carter ( Chairman, ex Chairman of Barclays Bank, Zimbabwe) Senior Minister, the Hon Didymus Mutasa, and others. The schools occupy a 3 000 acre site straddling the main Harare-Mutare road, 85 kilometres south-east of Harare; 700 acres of this form our game park, Gosho Park.
• There are 480 boys (all boarders) at Peterhouse, and across the road we now have two associated schools: Springvale House is a 220 strong Preparatory School for boys and girls (weekly boarders and day scholars), Peterhouse Girls’ has 290 pupils (almost all of whom are boarders) Post-O Level girls come over to Peterhouse for lessons.
