History
Kutama College, 80 kilometres southwest of Harare, grew out of a Mission station founded in 1914. It is a boys-only school.
Kutama takes pride in their history and the achievements of current and former students by recognising their success in different ways that inspire others to strive to do the same if not better. This is cultivated into our students, right from the beginning by encouraging healthy competition amongst peers in all activities. Students are divided into four houses Champagnat House (Blue) – named after the founder of the Marist Brothers Fr. Marceline Champagnat, Chichester House (Red) – named after the first Catholic Archbishop of Harare Aston Chichester, Michael House (Green) – named after one of the early Brothers to teach at the school Bro. Michael and Patrick House (Yellow) – named after one of the early Brothers to teach at the school Bro. Patrick.
