FOR parents looking for an educational environment that combines classroom learning with structured boarding, sport, technology and personal development, Solid Rock Group of Schools is preparing to welcome its 2027 intake at its Domboshava campus.
The school has opened its 2027 boarding enrolment, with places available for prospective learners across different levels, including Form One and Advanced Level, subject to the institution’s admission requirements.
Located at Chirombo Village, Domboshava, approximately 42 kilometres from Harare’s central business district, Solid Rock operates a boarding model in which academic work forms part of an organised daily routine.
Learners move through a timetable incorporating lessons, supervised study, meals, devotion, sport, clubs, personal responsibilities and recreation.
The school says the structure is intended to help young people develop independence, time management, discipline and responsibility while maintaining focus on their studies.
Its academic programme offers both ZIMSEC and Cambridge O-Level and A-Level pathways.
The curriculum is supported by practical science, computer studies and robotics, alongside conventional academic subjects.
According to the school, supervised study and teacher guidance are used to help learners maintain consistent study habits, complete assignments and prepare for examinations.
The institution also places emphasis on opportunities outside the classroom.
Learners can participate in football, volleyball, netball, tennis, cricket, karate, athletics and other sporting activities, while clubs include debate, public speaking, business activities, chess and music.
Robotics and technology programmes provide another avenue for learners interested in practical problem-solving and innovation.
The school describes its approach as one that seeks to develop the whole learner, combining academic knowledge with character, communication skills, leadership and practical ability.
The model has recently produced notable results in public speaking and debate.
In September, Solid Rock’s junior school team represented the institution at a primary schools debate championship in South Africa, winning the public-speaking category and finishing second in debate.
The performance followed an investment in communication skills within the school, including public-speaking training in which more than 100 Solid Rock High School learners graduated earlier this year.
For boarding learners, the school also emphasises pastoral guidance and student welfare.
The institution says boarding staff supervise learners while helping them adjust to life away from home and encouraging positive habits.
The Christian environment is another component of the school’s model, with devotion and spiritual development incorporated into the boarding routine.
Academically, prospective learners can pursue either the ZIMSEC or Cambridge pathway, with subject offerings spanning sciences, commercials, humanities and technology-related disciplines.
Parents considering the 2027 intake are encouraged to engage the admissions team, submit the required documentation and arrange a campus visit.
The school’s admissions information requires, among other documents, learner identification, school reports and relevant results, with specific requirements applying to Form One and Lower Six applicants.
With the 2027 school year approaching, Solid Rock’s message to prospective families is centred on a structured educational experience in which academic work, supervised study, technology, sport, communication, Christian values and personal responsibility operate alongside one another.
The institution says its broader objective is to prepare young people to leave school with not only qualifications, but also the confidence, discipline and practical skills required for their next stage of life.
