About Southgate
Where Faith Meets Ambition
Southgate Preparatory School was founded on a simple conviction: that a child's character matters as much as their results. Grounded in the ZCC faith and built for international standards, we prepare students academically, spiritually, and personally, for Zimbabwe, and for the world.

On Same Ground We're Called to Care For
Sustainability at Southgate isn't an initiative, it's a value we're planting from day one. From our agriculture and environmental programme to how our campus itself is being built, growth means more than academics here.

Voices from Our
Community
“What struck me first wasn't the results, it was how my daughter talked about kindness at the dinner table. Southgate is building character, not just report cards.”
Rebecca Chido
“I came to Southgate not knowing anyone. I left with a faith, a group of lifelong friends, and the confidence to study abroad. This school prepared me for far more than exams.”
Phillip Sakala
“As a teacher, what I value most is that Southgate never asks me to choose between academic rigour and pastoral care. Here, they're the same job.”
Tanya Richards
“We looked at international schools across the region before choosing Southgate. What won us over was simple, they treated our son like a person before they treated him like a student.”
