As far back as 1973, Rhodes Park Nursery was bought by a young Zambian Lawyer, Mwansa Folotiya and his wife Lydia. Situated at 42 Joseph Mwilwa Road, Fairview, in Lusaka?s Rhodes Park Low Density Area, the school had been servicing mainly white members of Lusaka's population since the previous decade. The new owners brought in a cosmopolitan approach that was in line with the young Zambian nation and began to grow and develop the school.

The school reopened its doors to secondary education in 1997 and has never looked back since then. We had our first two Grade Twelve classes in 2001. They did very well in their final examinations and helped to set pace for the wonderful and improved achievements of the classes that followed in subsequent years.

It is a well known fact that Rhodes Park has achieved excellent Grade Seven and Nine and Twelve results.

Being a limited company, the School is run on behalf of the shareholders by The Board of Directors, with the Chairman and Managing Director as Chief Executive Officer in charge day to day running and strategic management. He is assisted by the Headteacher, Chief Accountant and Administrative Manager.

The School operates under a licence from the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Zambia under the Education Act.

The future as Rhodes Park approaches 2010 looks promising indeed. With new methodologies, new facilities and an ever improving outlook, things can only get better.
