Why HIS?

There comes a moment in every academic year when we pause, reflect, and recognize that a meaningful chapter is coming to a close. That time is now, as we proudly wish our Seniors the very best in their upcoming final exams. The journey has been long, intense, and transformative, especially through their engagement in the CAS program, a cornerstone of the IB Diploma Programme.

Our students don’t just learn about global challenges, they take action. Grade 11 students Zoe and Isabella are making a profound impact through their Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) project, ensuring that girls in Zimbabwe can stay in school without disruption due to period poverty.

We believe that learning should be dynamic, immersive and future-focused. That’s why our Innovation Centre stands as one of our most exciting and unique offerings, a space where creativity, technology and real-world problem-solving come to life. Here, students don’t just learn; they invent, explore and innovate.

Our Early Childhood (EC) program for 3–4-year-olds is a place of wonder, exploration and joyful learning. Here, our youngest learners step into a world where play is learning, curiosity is nurtured and every moment is filled with discovery and growth.

Harare International School believes every student has the potential to thrive . We appreciate and celebrate that each learner is unique hence we offer a range of  interventions designed to support students’ learning styles and needs, for them to access the curriculum.

At Harare International School, the Innovation Centre is more than just a workspace, it’s a dynamic hub where creativity, technology, and hands-on learning empower students with 21st-century skills. Designed to foster the 4 Cs, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity, this cutting-edge facility provides students with access to state-of-the-art equipment and resources that bridge the gap between learning and real-world application.

At Harare International School (HIS), we are more than just an institution of learning; we are a community enriched by the brilliance, dedication and expertise of our highly experienced, globally exposed female staff members. This Women’s Month, we take pride in celebrating the exceptional women who play a pivotal role in shaping our diverse and dynamic learning environment.

Being part of HIS means embracing a global-centric way of life, where diversity is celebrated daily. Whether it’s enjoying different cuisines at our cafeteria, participating in multicultural assemblies, or engaging in international service projects, students develop a sense of belonging in a world that is beautifully diverse.
