ZIS will not be cocooned from the wider community. ZIS will be a focal point for the empowerment of local people.

ZIS will provide considerable employment opportunities for local people and as the school develops will serve as a focal point for lifelong learning within it’s vicinity through outreach programmes and an extended school facility. ZIS will work within the community to develop:

• agricultural projects working alongside local farmers,
• improve literacy and numeracy levels of the adult population,
• develop an awareness of the humankinds duty to be responsible for our planet through the promoion of environmental and conservation issues,
• promote the Arts and Culture,
• develop an academy of sporting excellence.

ZIS ultimately will become a beacon school that will reach out beyond it’s perimeters to promote solidarity and sustainable development within the wider community.

Furthermore, ZIS will operate a summer school during closure in both December and August. Students for the summer school are to be drawn from across Africa and from Europe and North America. The summer school programme will be based upon issues relating to sustainable development, the arts, sports, the environment and issues relating to HIV & Aids. Accreditation will be sought for the summer school programme.

ZIS will also operate as a beacon school within the Mwandi/Sheseke district offering a range of outreach projects to partner schools. ZIS will work with partners to promote the Continued Professional Development of teachers in partner schools, collaborative In Service Training provided by our most experienced and successful teachers and will provide opportunities for pupils across the district to learn within our campus.
