First Steps Primary School was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves an excellent education in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. Our slogan “Small Steps to Giant Leaps” captures everything we do. We believe that with the right support, every small step a child takes in our school becomes a giant leap towards an extraordinary future. Located in the heart of Murewa, Zimbabwe, we serve families who want more for their children — more individual attention, more opportunities, and more pride in who they are becoming.
We will prepare all students for college and life by providing a Heritage Based Curriculum (HBC) that connects students’ lives and their future in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment.
We honour achievement and promote pride in ourselves, in our school, and in our community. We strive to prepare all students to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens ready to meet the challenges of the future. We aim to help our diverse student body achieve academic excellence and make positive contributions to our world.
The Heritage Based Curriculum (HBC) is not just a syllabus — it’s a philosophy. It connects your child’s learning to their cultural roots, community context, and personal identity. This approach builds deeper understanding, greater pride, and stronger academic outcomes because children learn in a context that is meaningful to them.
At First Steps, HBC is woven into every subject, every interaction, and every celebration. It is what makes our school uniquely Zimbabwean — and uniquely powerful.
We hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, admit when we fall short of our standards, and always strive to be our best selves — students, teachers, and leaders alike.
We show appreciation for one another whenever possible. We celebrate achievements, acknowledge effort, and foster a school culture where everyone feels valued.
Our school is a central hub of our community. It brings together students, institutions, and resources to promote high-quality education, academic collaboration, and career development. We are proud to be part of Murewa.
