ZRP High School

Established in 2001 in Hatcliffe, Harare, ZRP High School officially opened its doors in 2003. ZRP High School stands as a testament to the vision of then-Commissioner of Police, Augustine Chihuri. He aimed to provide a stable education for children of police officers who frequently relocate. While primarily serving police families, ZRP High School also welcomes civilian students. However, fees differ, with non-police children paying a higher rate. ZRP High School boasts a strong academic record. The school offers O-Level and A-Level courses. These cover sciences, humanities, commercials, and arts. Students consistently achieve high pass rates in national exams, frequently placing ZRP High among the top-performing schools. The school fosters well-rounded individuals. It encourages participation in extracurricular activities. These include debate, sports, and community service. The debate club, in particular, has garnered national recognition. In 2013, they won the National Debate on Climate Change, sponsored by the UNDP. ZRP High School emphasizes discipline and ethical conduct. This reflects its police affiliation. The school aims to cultivate responsible citizens. It maintains a structured environment with clear rules and expectations. This can be both a strength and a challenge, depending on the student’s learning style.
