International Students

International students require a student visa to study in Zambia. Once a student is accepted, our Admissions Office will provide the necessary documentation to support the visa application process.

Required documents typically include:

• Acceptance letter from Simba International School
• Proof of payment of school fees
• Passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
• Birth certificate
• Passport-sized photographs
• Health records and immunization history

We offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for international students who are not yet fluent in English. Our specialized EAL teachers work with students both in and out of the classroom to develop their English language skills.

Students are assessed upon arrival to determine their English proficiency level and appropriate support. As students progress, support is adjusted to meet their changing needs.

International students in Years 7-13 have the option to reside in our on-campus boarding facilities. Our Tau House boarding residence provides a safe, supportive home away from home with full-time residential staff.

Boarding students benefit from:

• Comfortable, modern accommodations
• Nutritious meals
• Supervised study time
• Weekend activities and excursions
• Close-knit community of peers

Our Cambridge curriculum is recognized worldwide, ensuring a smooth transition for international students and providing qualifications that are accepted by universities globally.

For students transitioning from different educational systems, our academic team works closely with families to determine appropriate grade placement and identify any areas where additional support may be needed.
