The Peterhouse Group continually improves its facilities in an attempt to better serve the education system in Zimbabwe. To this end, a scheme has been introduced for interested corporates/parents to assist in these developments by purchasing Development Places in any of the Group’s three schools. There are a limited number of Development Places available and the criteria listed in the points above will need to be met. Interested parties should contact Mr Mark Whitaker, Business Director, on bd@peterhouse.co.zw. Please note that the option to purchase a Development Place must be taken up and payment must be made before the writing of the Entrance Exam

Once the application has been approved a non-refundable Entry Fee equivalent to one term’s fees is required to secure the applicant’s place at Peterhouse. This fee is payable over 12 months if need be. 

Reductions to the Entry Fee are awarded for:

  1. Applicants from Springvale House;
  2. Applicants from Ruzawi School;
  3. Siblings of pupils already within the Peterhouse Group; 
  4. Applicants for Form 2 and above.

For further assistance please contact the Registrar: registrar@peterhouse.co.zw
