Association of Private Schools
Association of Private Schools Background
Across Zimbabwe, thousands of children are educated in privately owned schools. These schools range from small early-learning centres to established primary and secondary schools serving communities throughout the country.
Despite their vital role in education, many private schools operate in relative isolation. APS was created to bring these schools together into a collaborative professional network.
School owners and heads often face challenges in areas such as:
School Management
Regulatory Guidance
Staff Development
Access to Reliable Suppliers
Technology Integration
Marketing and Enrolment Growth
About APS

However, APS does not police or enforce compliance.
What APS Does

• share knowledge and experience
• access professional services
• attend training and conferences
• collaborate with other school leaders
• benefit from trusted supplier partnerships
