Introduction

Gateway High School is a biblically based Christian secondary school in Zimbabwe offering Cambridge-based education from early secondary through Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS and A Levels. ACE graduation certificates are conferred by a UK-based governing body, aligning the ACE framework with Cambridge qualifications. Established in 1991, the school grew from modest Form 1 classes to a campus, introducing the Career Preparation Programme (1996), the ACE pathway (2002), and the Takuranashe Class (2010), with a counselling service since 1996 and a Career Fair since 2012. The campus includes Art and Computing rooms, a science block, a library, and a Hall. On-site cricket and rugby fields, grass volleyball courts, tennis courts and a swimming pool (2011) support sport and community events. A range of clubs including Arts & Crafts, Drama, Chess, Debate, Choir, and language, cultural, and social activities enrich academic life. The school also emphasises character, leadership and service.

Fees

Application & Enrolment Fees
- The school requires a non-refundable application fee at time of application.
- A non-refundable enrolment (registration) fee is charged when a place is accepted; the enrolment form shows this fee is required but does not publish a fixed amount.

Tuition fees (structure and how they are charged)
- Tuition is charged on a per-term basis (fees stated on the enrolment form as “per child, per term”). The school's enrolment paperwork and admissions information define fee billing as termly.
- The school uses the standard Zimbabwe independent‑school term structure (fees expressed per term; the academic year is termly). Specific term or annual amounts for each year group are not published on the school's enrolment materials.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- No published, itemised schedule of tuition fees by school year or form (Form 1 through Upper Sixth) is available in the school's enrolment form or admissions pages. The enrolment form contains placeholders for “current school fees … per child, per term” and for the non‑refundable enrolment and application fees, indicating fees are set but not printed on those documents.
- An independent, third‑party compilation lists an indicative average figure for Gateway High School of USD 2,100 (presented as an average fees figure in that external list). This is a third‑party estimate and is not an itemised per‑year or per‑term schedule published by the school.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing is termly (fees quoted on the enrolment form are per term). The school operates a cash office with published office hours for fee payments. No published payment‑deadline schedule, late‑payment penalties, or formal instalment plans appear on the public admissions/enrolment materials.

Boarding fees
- Gateway High School is an independent day school (no boarding programme is listed); there are no published boarding fees.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, textbooks, levies, exam fees, transport, extracurriculars)
- The enrolment form and admissions pages require supporting documents and list application/enrolment fees, but do not publish specific charges for uniform, textbooks, transport, exam entry, extra‑curricular fees or parental levies for the high school. These additional costs are not itemised on the enrolment form.

Refund information
- The enrolment form explicitly records the application fee and the enrolment fee as non‑refundable. There is no published, itemised refund policy for tuition, uniform or other charges on the publicly available admissions/enrolment materials.

Fee payment options
- The school maintains a cash office and publishes office hours for in‑person payments; the admissions information references the cash office closure times, indicating cash payments are handled on site. No public listing of accepted electronic payment methods (bank transfer/EFT, credit card, mobile money) or account details is published in the admissions/enrolment materials.

Summary of available facts (concise)
- The school requires a non‑refundable application fee and a non‑refundable enrolment fee; tuition is charged per term. The school is a day school (no boarding fees). Specific numeric fee amounts by year group, a complete per‑term/per‑year fee schedule, published payment methods, billing deadlines, and a detailed refund policy are not published in the school's publicly available admissions or enrolment documents.

Note on independent estimates
- An independent compilation of Zimbabwe school fees lists an indicative/average figure for Gateway High School of USD 2,100; this appears as an external estimate and is not an itemised official fee schedule produced by the school.

Admissions

1. For entry into form 1 the following documents are required: Grade 6 third term report, a passport-sized photo, a copy of the birth certificate, and a non-refundable application fee. The completion of the enrolment form is not a guarantee of acceptance; all applicants will be assessed. After these documents are received, parents will be communicated with in May regarding the forms to be filled before the Common Assessment Test, in line with ATS guidelines. The Common Assessment Test is usually held on the first Saturday of July and is written at the school of the parent's first choice, with results published according to ATS guidelines.

2. Enrollment for other forms is done throughout the year and requires the current term report, a Confidential Report from the current school, a passport-sized photo, a copy of the birth certificate, and a non-refundable application fee. The school will administer an assessment exam and parents will be notified of the results within a week, with the results informing the school of eligibility for a place.

3. The Head/Acting Head's decision regarding admission is final. If a place is offered and accepted, the deposit stipulated in the offer letter must be paid to secure the place; if the place is not taken up, the full deposit will be forfeited. The Gateway Code of Discipline accompanies the enrolment process, and signing the declaration confirms agreement to observe its requirements.
