ZIGS
Green education in Zambia

The Zambezi International Green School will ultimately be a prestigious co-educational  school providing primary, secondary and post 16 education. We will be offering modern green facilities and an outstanding teaching staff. Students will be drawn primarily from within Zambia but the school will also be open to students from neighbouring countries.

The school will offer a curriculum diet based upon the UK National Curriculum including IGCSE and A Levels/Pre U courses that enable students to secure entry to Universities across Africa and in the UK, Europe, US, etc.

One of the unique features of ZIGS will be our outreach and empowerment programme. This programme will involve teachers and other professionals from ZIGS working with teachers in other schools to promote the sharing of best practice and the betterment of the educational experiences of all children in the vicinity of our school. This will enable our project to have an influence far beyond our own campus.

ZIGS will be founded on the philosophy that future generations of ethical, committed leaders are the key to Zambia’s development. The schools vision is to be the training ground for these future leaders of Zambia and beyond. ZIGS will be a world-class educational institution offering a world-class academic program in combination with a unique curriculum in Sustainable Development, Agriculture, Ethical Leadership, and African Studies. ZIGS will ultimately draw 4-19 year old students from Zambia and beyond.

The ultimate objective is to create a network of future African leaders who can collaborate to drive positive change throughout the continent for the betterment of all. ZIGS will launch in January 2012 with an anticipated initial intake in Year 1, Year 3, year 7 and Year 8. We will then grow annually through a curriculum roll out programme over a five year period.
