Masvingo Christian College’s commitment to inclusive enrolment has yielded impressive results, with the school emerging among top-performing institutions in the 2025 ZIMSEC Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations.
The school recorded a remarkable 96.1 percent pass rate at A Level and 50.2 percent at O Level, a performance school authorities attribute to deliberate efforts to support learners from diverse academic backgrounds.
Speaking to TellZim News, school principal Dr Muresherwa said the results affirm the school’s belief that academic success can be nurtured with the right support systems.
“These results are a testament to our commitment to uplifting every learner. We accept students from all backgrounds, regardless of their previous results, because we believe success is cultivated. This performance proves that every learner can succeed when given the right support. One good example is that of one learner whom we enrolled who had 17 units at grade 7 and scored 6As,” said Dr Muresherwa.
A total of 103 learners sat for the A Level examinations, with 97 passing two or more subjects. Nine learners attained 15 points and above.
Top achievers recorded 19 points each, with Talent Dube scoring three As in Biology, Pure Mathematics and Chemistry, and a B in Physics.
