The Peterhouse Group of Schools emphasises six core competencies: critical thinking, creativity, communication, character, collaboration and cross-cultural skills.
The Peterhouse Group has a Curriculum Support Department in each school. It is sympathetic to pupils with curriculum support needs, including formally diagnosed learning difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD) and learners who benefit from support without formal diagnosis. Admissions welcome applications from parents of pupils with curriculum support needs; entry requires educational assessment reports or specialist reports. Identification and assessment are led by the Head of Curriculum Support, using teacher concerns, early screening and referrals to educational psychologists; a Curriculum Support register tracks each pupil's needs. Curriculum support provision includes small-group or one-to-one lessons, occasional drop-in sessions, collaboration with subject departments, and appropriate access arrangements for public and internal examinations. There is no charge for Curriculum Support lessons; D Block screenings are provided at no cost; fees for specialist reports are borne by parents.
The Upper School states that the welfare of its pupils, particularly with regard to their health and happiness, is a priority.
Peterhouse Group of Schools offers a Cambridge-based curriculum for students aged 6 to 18, spanning Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels and Cambridge A Levels. The schools operate as independent boarding institutions with three age-appropriate campuses on two estates near Marondera, Zimbabwe, supported by Calderwood Park and Gosho Park. The AS Level is a one-year course with examinations or coursework, and most IGCSE achievers progress to four AS Levels while others take three; A Levels follow with AS and A2 results combined. Core subjects include Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, Geography, History, and more, with additional A/AS Level options such as French, Music, and Global Perspectives. The 6 Cs framework—critical thinking, creativity, communication, character, collaboration and cross-cultural skills—underpins the approach. The school provides University & Further Education support, annual educational trips, and a strong extracurricular program including sport, music, drama, robotics, and service clubs. These elements shape confident, responsible learners.
