Learning through Play at the Zambezi International Green School

Our mission at ZIGS is to educate the next generation of African leaders to be inspired with a zest for lifelong learning, a desire to do what is ethically right, to care for our their environment and to love one another.

We aim to inspire our students by ensuring that our curriculum is vibrant and exciting so that children develop a passion for learning. Learning at ZIGS is not confined to the classroom. Our children spend much of their time outside and in our Early Years Learning Centre there is very much of a focus on Learning through Play. While playing together our children are encouraged to share, solve problems, develop thinking skills,  be creative, develop coordination, resolve conflict and use their imaginations. All of these skills are conducive to the development of a child and compliment the traditional aspects of the curriculum. Of course a lot of learning is classroom based and focused upon numeracy and literacy but learning through play paves the way for the development of these skills.
