Welcome

Waterfield Preparatory

Waterfield Preparatory welcomes learners from Grades 1 to 7 and is committed to delivering a high-quality, well-rounded education. Our aim is to nurture confident, skilled, and responsible young learners who are prepared for future academic success.

To ensure strong academic standards, we benchmark our learners’ performance against credible national and international frameworks. Waterfield Preparatory offers both ZIMSEC and Cambridge Primary programs, providing families with flexible, globally recognised pathways. These programmes are designed to build solid foundations in literacy, numeracy, science, and critical thinking, while preparing learners to thrive in a fast-changing world.

At Waterfield, we create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, learning is active, and every child is supported to reach their full potential.

A Stimulating School Environment That Builds Discipline, Confidence, and Independent Thinking.

We offer a diverse range of subjects and cultural enrichment activities that support a truly holistic educational experience. With a strong emphasis on the arts and expanded language options, both conversational and formal, we ensure that every learner develops broad, well-rounded abilities.

Our programmes are led by skilled local and international educators who inspire curiosity and innovation. We personalise each learner’s educational journey, guiding them as they make informed academic and future career decisions.

Rooted in both local relevance and global standards, Waterfield College stands as a school of choice where every child is recognised, valued, and developed as a masterpiece.
