Ruzawi School - Marondera

Ruzawi was established in 1928 by the joint founders, Canon Robert Grinham and Mr Maurice Carver as a preparatory boarding school for boys. The school became co-educational from January 2003. Children are aged from 6 to 12 years. In the Infants’ Department (more commonly referred to as "Kippers") there is only one Grade One and Two class. An additional entry at Grade Three enables there to be two classes of no more than 20 children from Grade 3 through to Grade 7.

The school is situated some 5 kilometres south of Marondera. It stands in extensive grounds surrounded by many hectares of indigenous woodland, eucalyptus plantations.The David Smith dam located on the northern boundary gives the school an ideal rural environment.

On the boarding side, in addition to two dining rooms and a sanatorium, there are specialised dormitories for infants and the junior girls. The boys’ dormitories, with recently refurbished washrooms, form part of the main accommodation block.

Ruzawi is a small school and, like a family, we have many caring people dedicated and committed to taking care of the children.
