Our Story

Cherry Hills International School is located along Joseph Mwilwa Road in Rhodespark, within the Commercial Business Area of Lusaka, Zambia. We are an international school serving the needs of children in Lusaka and offering an education based on contemporary educational philosophy and methods.

The school was founded in August 2017, initially set up to provide high quality but affordable education services and care for pre-school toddlers and young children. When our doors first opened, we welcomed just 2 pupils.

As families asked for their children to continue the learning they had begun at Cherry Hills, the school grew with its learners. Today, Cherry Hills serves children across Early Years, Primary and Lower Secondary, from age 2 through Year 9, at our Rhodespark campuses.
