Applications for the L6 cohort starting in January 2024 are now open with a deadline of September 22, 2023. The USAP Community School is a residential 11th and 12th grade (A Level) school that educates motivated high-achieving, low-income Zimbabwean students to excel at the world’s top universities and return home to build society. We center Africa, teach and live values of integrity, equality, service and curiosity and prepare students to live a life of purpose and impact.
USAP Community School (USAPCS) is accepting applications from qualified current F4 and L6 students to begin A Level as L6 students in January 2024. Current L6 students who are interested in applying must be willing to restart L6 at the beginning of 2024. To be eligible, you must be able to demonstrate financial disadvantage, that your family would not be capable of financing high quality A level education and university application processes on your own. Financial aid is available on a need basis, and no qualified student will be turned away from USAPCS for financial reasons.

The school aims to support young people who are thinking through how to address challenges in Zimbabwe, to start thinking about how to come home to build society before they ever leave. We believe the combination of a strong skillset and entrepreneurial attitude, the grounding of a dynamic and thoughtful Zimbabwean academic community and the exposure of an international education will lead to young people who have the potential to make a tremendous impact on the African Continent in the future. We encourage you to share this opportunity with promising students in Zimbabwe!

My question – is the lower 6 for 2025 application process open now
No, we open our application process in August for January 2025.
Hi, I wanted to ask if it was possible for a current Lower 6 (2024) student apply to go to Upper 6 instead, provided they are on the same educational standing as all the Upper 6 USAPCS students in 2025? Could there be tests taken in for them to go for Upper 6 instead of retaking their Lower 6?
We do welcome and accept a number of L6 students each year to start at USAPCS, but they must start their L6 year again with us, as half of our curriculum is in addition to the A level subjects they take (Humanities, Research Methods, Computers, etc). For that reason, our school is a two year experience. They do not find this experience repetitive, but gratifying to delve deeper into their science A level subjects while also experiencing all that our unique school has to offer.
Hi, do you offer Computer Science?
All USAP students take our own two year Computers course, which includes coding, but we do not offer Computer Science as an A level class.
When do I apply for 2025
Applications for January 2025 intake for USAP Community School are now out. You can apply on https://tiny.url.com/USAPCSJan2025.
May you kindly assist, is the school located locally in Zimbabwe. Is it a boarding facility set up?
USAP Community School is a residential A level school in Zimbabwe intentionally built for high-achieving, low-income students from Zimbabwe and the refugee camp located in Zimbabwe as well.
Do you have technical graphics as a subject at your school or anything of that sort.
We offer Cambridge A level subjects (Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics) but not Technical Graphics.
