When Peterhouse School opened in 1955, the British Empire in Africa
was still intact and the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland had
just come into being. It was a boarding school founded on the
British model, but with the intention that it would 'adapt all that
is best in the Public School tradition to African conditions'. The
story of Peterhouse is not only about work and sport, music and
drama, chapel and syllabus changes. It is set in the context of
educational development and political changes in a Southern Africa
country. The school became a pioneering multi-racial institution in
'white Rhodesia'; shared the sufferings of the country during the
'bush war'; expanded greatly in the new Zimbabwe, survived the
contradictions of a black 'Marxist' government, and has kept its
firm commitment to being a 'Church School'. Despite the
uncertainties and challenges of the new century, this is a story of
faith and vision.
