When it comes to education, there is no such a thing as too much. There will always be need for schools that truly deserve the accolade of excellency.

Ark Christian College, the recently introduced co-educational academy in Hillside, Harare, has set the bar high and is set to achieve a name among the best within the shortest period.

“We have been involved in the education sector locally and internationally for many years. We have seen it all, a bit in the private and public school aspects,” said Mr Peter Katsidzira, the college founder and director of studies.

A good education is the one that have skills that equip one to achieve “physiological”, “safety”, “belonging and love”, “esteem” and “self-actualisation”, the list defined by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Ark Christian College is an institution that takes learners up the pyramid to the very top.

With exacting standards backed by full resources, the school has all the physical requirements needed for effective learning including science labs.

Lessons are conducted by personnel with teaching qualifications who understand that children are not produced in a mass factory, but individuals who need to be groomed accordingly.

The Cambridge Centre offers flexibility.

That means even Zimsec candidates can make special arrangements and be accommodated.

The perception of education has changed greatly over the past few decades in the country.

Learners are no longer merely looking for a certification that assures upward social mobility and better employment prospects but a place that unleashes minds and passion.

This is where Ark Christian College comes in.

Learners are not just the leaders of the future. The institution looks at learners as leaders, doers, innovators and achievers who are in the process of becoming.

The school was founded on these very principles, in honour of the late Mrs Ellen Katsidzira, a woman who was fearless in pursuing her passions, all the way from her education to her career.

Mrs Katsidzira did not let the challenges of life hinder her from reaching spectacular achievements and in that light, Ark Christian College ensures that its students will not faint in the face of adversity, but will overcome them with a fearless spirit.
