Banani International School

Banani International School offers a unique and balanced academic program. Students follow the Cambridge curriculum from Grades 8 to 12, while also studying Zambian curriculum subjects. This combination allows students to prepare for international exams such as the IGCSE and AS Level (Advanced Subsidiary). The curriculum is designed to develop not only academic excellence but also strong ethical values and leadership skills, aligning with the school’s holistic approach to education.


At Banani, we believe that a child’s character development is deeply connected to their physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual well-being. Working closely with parents, we support this holistic growth through continuous academic assessment, including homework, projects, and regular testing, with reports issued each term. Enriching experiences like educational field trips, arts and science fairs, and inter-school events further enhance learning, with parents warmly welcomed to take part.

Students learn in small groups or individually with close teacher guidance, progressing at their own pace. Classes run from 7:30 to 13:10, with extended sessions for older students until 15:30.

Each term ends with an Open House, where parents connect with teachers, view their child’s work, and engage in the school community.
