Bulawayo Campus - Form 1

Do you want your children to get the best possible start to their high school careers?

Do you want to be assured that your children will learn in a secure and caring environment?

Who will issue your certificate?

At the end of Form 4, students can choose to write their O Levels either with Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) or Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) exams.

Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is the world’s largest provider of international qualifications for 14–19 year olds. The broad aim of the qualifications is to develop students' skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving.CIE offers an extensive range of qualifications and programmes, of which the “O” and “A” level qualifications are the most widely known. These two qualifications are acknowledged as the basis for entry into many universities and professional institutions. Some American universities even give up to a year's credit to students who have good “A” level results in their chosen area of study

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) was established as the body responsible for the administration of public examinations in primary and secondary education in Zimbabwe. It is also responsible for the quality assessment of candidates' learning and performance, and for the awarding of nationally and internationally recognised certificates at different levels of the school education system.

Entry requirements for this course

What exams will you write?

Form 1 students write a mid-year exam, and a year-end exam. The results of these exams are used to identify any gaps in the student’s knowledge, so that the teacher can give the student further assistance as required.

When and where are the classes and what are the fees?

Lessons are offered at different times on different campuses, with some lessons being held during the day, and others in the evening or at weekends. Often the same course can be studied at a variety of different times, so you can choose the one which is more convenient to you.

You’ll get your personal timetable when you register at Speciss College.

What about books and stationery?

You'll need to bring your own notebook and writing materials to your classes. For your convenience, we have a range of stationery items at the Speciss bookshops. A list of textbooks is available from the High School Director of Studies. We strongly recommend that you purchase these texts.
