Beginning an application
Harmony Pre and Junior School enrols children into a private school in Mabvazuva, Harare. The school was established in 2021. The administration building, with its turquoise walls and the word Administration above the glass doors, is where an application is handled. Start by downloading the application form and the terms and conditions. Read them before you sign. Then bring or send the completed papers to the office, and ask for the current fees structure in the same step.
The form is the school’s own document: Harmony Junior School application terms and conditions. It is a PDF. Download it, print it, and complete it in full. An incomplete form delays the conversation. If you cannot download it, collect a copy from the cashier’s office or ask for it by email at [email protected] or [email protected]. The phone is 077 690 8490.
Say which part of the school you are applying for. Harmony is a pre and junior school. Friday uniform already distinguishes pre-scholars, who wear home clothes that day, from the rest of the school, who stay in uniform. If you are unsure which group your child’s age falls into, ask the office rather than guessing from a neighbour’s child.
Who may enrol
All Zimbabwean and non-Zimbabwean kindergarten school-age children who meet the academic selection criteria are eligible to enrol. The school does not limit the door to one nationality. It does require that the child meet the academic selection criteria. Those criteria are applied by the school. A conversation and the application papers are how a family finds out whether a child meets them.
No student will be discriminated against on the basis of sex, race, creed, infirmity, or the political persuasion of parents. That sentence is school policy, not a slogan. A child’s place does not depend on who the parents vote for, or on a disability, or on the family’s church. It depends on the child meeting the academic selection criteria and the family accepting the terms, the fees, and the partnership the school asks for.
The gender distribution of learners, and of staff, shall be balanced as much as possible. The school aims at a balance. It does not publish a quota on this website. Questions about a particular class go to the office.
What the school is trying to grow
The motto is Pride in Excellence. The mission is grooming future Kings and Queens in a more excellent way. The core values are excellence, success, integrity, and hard work. The corporate colours are turquoise blue, grey, and white. You will see the colours on the buildings and on the crest: an open book, a ball, and the ribbon that carries the motto.
The aims sit under those words. The school is committed to the highest quality of education it can give. It encourages a learner’s need to explore, by stimulating a natural love of learning. It tries to maximise each learner’s individual potential. It prepares learners to become independent, responsible people by instilling the fundamental skills of learning. It wants children to feel the excitement of learning through freedom of choice. A family that wants a different kind of school — one with no uniform, no bells, and no expectation of hard work — will be unhappy here, and should say so before accepting a place.
The stated student–teacher ratio is 1:20. The day is framed by gates at 7:00, a first bell at 8:00, and a last bell at 3:30. Lunch is part of the day. Those facts are the daily life a child is being admitted into. Read academics, meals, and transport before you sign, so the form is not the first time you meet them.
Parents as partners
Parents and families are essential partners with the school, and their involvement is highly cherished. The school names the practical part of that partnership: attendance, punctuality, and an understanding of school policies and procedures. A child who is often absent, or often late for the first bell, cannot receive the education the application is asking for. A parent who has not read the uniform guide will send the child in the wrong clothes on Tuesday and Thursday.
Understanding the policies is not optional courtesy. Fees and levies are paid before each term. Proof of a bank transfer is emailed. Belongings are named. The bus, if you use it, is boarded at the published stop and received again in the afternoon. The longer statement of how the school is governed — the administrator, the principal, the teachers, the organogram, and the financing — is on the policies page. Read it. It is part of what you are joining.
After you apply
The office will tell you what happens next for your child’s papers. This website does not publish a number of days or a guarantee of a place. Selection depends on the academic criteria. When a place is offered, ask for the current fees structure before you pay, and pay before the term begins, either at the cashier or by transfer with proof sent to [email protected].
Visit if you can. The school is at 31949, Mabvazuva, Ruwa, Harare. The administration doors face the paved entrance. Come during the school day, between the opening of the gates and the last bell, and ask for the office. The contact page lists every published email and the phone.
