The Bob Jones Curriculum
The Bob Jones curriculum is a curriculum built around the Christian worldview. Its core values are based on biblical teachings. The curriculum is based on providing children with reading materials that enable critical thinking and practical learning. It has courses for children in K3 up to the 12th-grade level. Subjects offered are Math, English, Science, Heritage Studies, Reading, Spelling, Shona, Music, Physical Education and Bible.Bob Jones Curriculum has brought technology into classrooms which has had a positive impact on the quality of education delivered. The students use eBooks which ensure that learners are proactively interacting with the learning material by way of videos, animations, augmented reality, changing displays, and taking notes.We believe education should be shaped according to the lens of Scripture. A complete education goes beyond facts and processes, so our textbooks and eBooks direct students to think for themselves. We teach learners to live life with a Godly purpose and thus set and pursue goals that thrust them towards their God-given purpose.

Sports for Infants and Elementary Levels
At Celebration International School, we embrace the wisdom of 1 Corinthians 9:25 – “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.”
Our commitment extends beyond the academic realm to the sports field, where we prepare children for good sportsmanship and fair play. Physical education classes, skills coaching, and team building are integral components of our sports program. Every child, from K5 to Grade 6, is taught to swim, with a primary focus on water safety.
The core sports offered include Athletics, Cross-Country, Soccer, Netball, Cricket, Hockey, Basketball, and Swimming. The playing fields are consistently abuzz with children actively participating in practices and inter-school matches during scheduled afternoon sports sessions.
Our objective is to promote broad participation in all sports among our students. We firmly believe that involvement beyond the classroom is crucial for the holistic development of individuals, fostering an enhanced sense of self in each participant. Recognising the significant role sports play in both physical and character development, we encourage every child to engage actively in these activities.
