Our School
Lwengu School is a vibrant co-education day and boarding school. The school derives its name from the majestic Sable Antelope (Hippotragus Niger) called Lwengu in the local Tonga language.
Situated in Monze District, in the Southern Province of Zambia, Lwengu is 185 km south of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia and 300 km north of Livingstone, the tourist capital. Its location is 1.5 km North West of the town centre of Monze and 800 metres off the Great North Road. The school opened in 1993 with 8 pupils, but now has an enrolment of over 400 pupils from all over Zambia as well as neighbouring countries. The school’s values of respect, hard work, love, honesty, courage, open mindedness and good manners are embedded in all the activities undertaken in the school.

The department of Guidance and Counselling offers lessons in career guidance and counselling and also organises career talks for pupils with people from various sectors of society, because we believe that a well-nurtured child is a happy child.
We also appreciate and encourage the uniqueness of each child. This helps our pupils to learn in a very relaxed atmosphere, giving them a chance to realize their full potential to ably face new challenges wherever they go.
