The Education Department operates as a central governing body, ensuring effective management, coordination and support for all Anglican schools within the Harare Diocese. It establishes policies, guidelines and standards for academic excellence, curriculum development and educational best practice, working with school administrators, teachers and stakeholders to enhance the learning experience.

Quality education should be within reach. The department implements transparent fee structures and financial aid programmes so that students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds have equal opportunities, and actively seeks partnerships and sponsorship for students who need financial assistance.

Chapter 04
Hands-on projects that prepare industry-ready students and help our schools become self-reliant, from green energy to agribusiness and technology.
Practicals
Improving practical subjects equips students with real-world skills. Food and Nutrition promotes healthy eating, Fashion and Fabrics builds design skills, Building and Block Laying offers hands-on construction experience, Computer Science prepares students for a tech-driven future, and Agriculture fosters environmental awareness.
Biogas Digester
Why throw waste away when it can be recycled? St John's High School, Chikwaka built a commercial biogas plant that produces methane gas for cooking in the dining hall, plus lighting and heat lamps for the piggery. Students helped build it, gaining industry-ready experience.
Poultry
St John's High School, Chikwaka produces at least six thousand broiler chickens per batch, selling them to the local market at wholesale prices and adding them to students' diets. The income supports the school so it relies less on fees, and students take part in brooding to learn agribusiness first-hand.
Piggery
Many of our schools have entered agribusiness with remarkable results, especially piggery: one sow can produce up to 18 piglets with good care. It puts fresh pork on boarding-school menus, and students learn to manage the project, applying what they study in class.
Schools Logistics
