Operations

Samambwa Secondary School offers secondary education from Form 1 to 4 over fours for both sexes.

In Zimbabwe it is a requirement to pass at least five O'Level Subjects including English, Mathematics and Science, and so this school offers Mathematics, Integrated Sciences, English Language, Religious Studies, History, Geography, Commerce, Shona Language and Agriculture.

Form 1 students here are mostly Grade 7 graduates from the nearby Samambwa Primary School, a few from Somapani Primary School and Mangwarangwara Primary School which are both about 7 km away.

A good number of O'Level graduates from here go to either Sidakeni High School or Nyaradzo High School for a further two years in A'Level education.
