With effort comes success.

A family primary school set among the sugar-cane fields of Mazabuka — day and boarding from Grade R to Grade 7, with a satellite class in Lusaka. Small classes, wide-open grounds, and happy, purposeful children.

Welcome to Musikili

A country school where happy children succeed.

As you come through an avenue of trees, the sounds of birds give way to the laughter of children. Surrounded by sugar cane, with room to run and time to explore, Musikili is an ideal place to grow “free range” children.

“It is my pleasure to welcome you to Musikili Primary School, a very special place where children are encouraged to learn, grow, explore and discover their full potential.”

We are a small family school offering an internationally recognised curriculum from Grade R to Grade 7 on our Mazabuka campus, with boarding from Grade 1 and a satellite class for Grades R to 2 in Lusaka. Small classes mean individual attention, close relationships and a genuine sense of community.

Our boys and girls come to understand our seven core values and the traditions that hold them together — while embracing innovation, opportunity and personal excellence.
