Baobab College:
Celebrating 30 Years of Shaping World Leaders

In 1994, with only 33 pupils, Baobab College was founded by a group of visionaries in the suburbs of Roma, Lusaka. Their goal was to establish a Zambian school that offered an international curriculum, representing a wide range of nationalities while remaining authentically Zambian.

Thirty years later, Baobab College stands as a beacon of inclusive education for children aged two to eighteen, proudly representing over 45 nationalities. The college reaffirms its dedication to shaping the future of education while fostering global citizens.

Baobab College remains rooted in traditional values while leading the way in educational innovation in Zambia. With investments in AI technology and robotic kits aimed at enhancing experiential learning, the college creates an environment that helps pupils understand the evolving world and develop relevant skills.

Despite its emphasis on technology, Baobab prioritises traditional values, socialisation, and communication methods, including speaking and writing. These elements help students develop their identities and navigate the world, highlighting the importance of human interaction and empathy to avoid overreliance on technology.

The college’s commitment to socialisation is evident in its state-of-the-art school hall, gala ball and art exhibition, where emerging and professional artists showcased their work during the 30th-anniversary celebrations. Additionally, the wellness centre, known as the WEBB (Well Being Baobab), prioritises the well-being of the entire Baobab community. The centre includes a dedicated professional counsellor to offer guidance and support to all.

Baobab’s holistic approach to education empowers students by helping them identify their strengths and interests. It encourages them to explore their passions, supporting personal growth and self-discovery. This approach is pivotal in creating well-rounded future leaders and global citizens who will excel whether they choose to invest their talents in Zambia or anywhere else in the world.
