Bernard Mizeki College
Zimbabwe · built 1961
Bernard Mizeki College is an independent boarding school for boys located in Marondera, Zimbabwe, approximately 87 km east of the capital city, Harare, and about 13.5 km northeast of Marondera town. The campus is situated along Pilgrimage Way, at 18.10209°S 31.64585°E / -18.10209; 31.64585. The college was established in memory of Bernard Mizeki, a Christian martyr who was killed in the surrounding area. Founded by leading members of the Anglican Church in then-colonial Southern Rhodesia, the institution was established through a deed of trust drafted in 1958 and officially registered on 29 May 1959 in Harare. Although originally intended to be a multi-racial school, Bernard Mizeki College has, over the years, tended to serve African boys where quality education similar to that offered by Peterhouse was limited if not non-existent. The college also enrolled a limited number of female students during certain periods.
