Founded in 2016, Eastern Heights College began its journey with a single student in Form One, marking the start of a vision to provide quality education in Mutare. Located at 32 Herbert Chitepo Street, the school’s humble beginnings quickly evolved as it gained a reputation for academic excellence and a supportive learning environment. Over the years, Eastern Heights grew steadily, now enrolling an average of 210 students from diverse backgrounds across both low and high-density suburbs.
As a mixed-sex school, Eastern Heights College has remained committed to inclusivity and community, welcoming students from all walks of life and fostering a culture of mutual respect and high achievement. What began with one student has blossomed into a thriving educational institution dedicated to empowering young minds and equipping them with the skills for a successful future.
To provide each learner a sound, value based and diverse education in a safe, supportive environment that promotes self-discipline, motivation and excellence in learning. In cooperation with parents and community, the Eastern Heights College team seeks to assist the learners in developing skills to become independent and self-sufficient adults who will succeed and contribute responsibly in the local as well as global community.
