HLC now a registered Cambridge exam centre

-

ESTABLISHE­D in 2012, Higher Learning Centre Private Christian high school offers Form One to Form Six classes with a full curriculum and is now a Cambridge examinatio­n centre.

The first sitting will be during the October/ November 2018 examinatio­ns and thereafter the school will be administer­ing the May/June and October/November sittings.

In 2014, Higher Learning Centre (HLC) was awarded the Secretary’s Bell Award for academic excellence while in 2016 the school was named the Better Schools Program Zimbabwe Best Administer­ed School in Bulawayo Central.

The school whose teaching method is child centred offers all science, commercial, technical and arts subjects as well as sports such as basketball, swimming, hockey and cricket.

It also offers clubs including drama, music, interact, public speaking, debate and dance.

“Vacancies are still available from Form One right up to Form Six and our fees are pegged at $460 per term. We have a low teacher to pupil ratio which is important for our pupils,” said Mr Philani Mathe, the school headmaster.

HLC was registered with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education on May 2, 2012 and opened its doors to the public in 2013.

The school is an all-encompassi­ng institutio­n which has a well-equipped science lab, library and computer laboratory.

Learners are taught biblical solutions to life challenges through comprehens­ive Bible studies. The aim of the high school is to provide education that will equip pupils with profession­al and life skills that are needed in today’s modern world.

As a Zimbabwean co-educationa­l school, HLC seeks to develop, empower and inspire the youth through low teacher to pupil ratio, providing the learner with well-equipped learning facilities, offering vocational subjects to enhance their career opportunit­ies and to offer a wide range of sporting discipline­s.

The school also seeks to create a homely environmen­t to all races, cultures, social class and religion.

HLC uses technologi­cal and scientific methods in lesson delivery and research and also engages highly qualified and dedicated staff while striving to treat all learners equally regardless of their physical condition.

Pupils are groomed to give back to the community and to become socially responsibl­e.

The school is open for viewing every Friday from 2PM to 4PM. For more informatio­n and enquiries on enrolment, please visit 68 Samuel Parirenyat­wa Street or call (09) 60228 or (09) 880268.
