Come to Troutbeck for:

Academic excellence in a Christian Zimbabwean environment

Each day begins with a Christian devotional, setting a tone of respect, responsibility, and purpose. English is the language of instruction.

Small classes where every child is known

With a maximum ratio of 1 teacher to 8 pupils, staff understand how each child learns. Strengths are encouraged and difficulties are addressed early, ensuring steady progress from the early years through to the secondary phase.

 

Prepared environments and quality learning materials

Our classrooms are carefully designed to support independence, concentration, and responsibility. Resources are thoughtfully selected and arranged so that pupils can work confidently and develop pride in doing things well.

Open-plan spaces with child-height shelving create clear workstations and allow children to move, choose, and learn within a calm, ordered setting.

In the primary years, our Montessori environments build independence, concentration, and responsibility.

As pupils grow older, these habits translate into strong study skills, academic maturity, and readiness for secondary examination courses.

 

 

Committed teachers

All teachers are university graduates with Montessori training in the lower years and subject specialism in the secondary phase. Pupils benefit from deep knowledge, professional teaching, and consistent expectations at every stage.

Preparing young people for life and examinations

Academic success matters. Character matters just as much.
Pupils learn grace and courtesy, resilience, responsibility, and Christian values while being carefully prepared for the demands of the Cambridge curriculum and IGCSE examinations.

Boarding care with guidance and stability

A dedicated house parent and boarding team look after pupils outside lessons, providing supervision, routine, and encouragement in a secure, home-from-home environment.

A Cambridge-aligned pathway

Our curriculum follows the Cambridge approach from Primary into the IGCSE years. Pupils are carefully prepared for these internationally respected examinations and are entered through an approved examination centre.
