Brookside International School

Our child was there for the last 4 terms leading up to the 2025 Cambridge checkpoint exams. The school/teachers were able to help him unfurl his potential and the results were impressive. The sporting and club facilities are minimal and could definitely be improved. The quality of the sport and clubs also leaves a lot to be desired. Admin is approachable and responsive, and so are the teachers. There are entrepreneurial projects and international days the school holds each year for each class, but the teachers do most of the work. It is a noble idea but execution could be improved. While parents were engaged regularly and included, sometimes it felt like ticking the box because decisions made would override the parents' feedback, even in instances were parents felt strongly about things. An SDC/SDA would be great. We felt the fees were quite high for what was overally offered but generally its a good school.

Our daughter goes there in grade 3. Only issue I have is school fees feels to high for what they offer. No meaningful sports. Only academics, and weak on ICT and yet it's changing the world around us. Also, no Shona. But teachers are well trained and approachable. Even though the owners of the school are approachable, it would be great to have a proper SDC whose incentives whose purpose is to represent the interests of the parents.
