Our story
It started with six learners and two teachers.
On 22 March 2021, Dr Jimmy Lemekani-Waya opened the first Father Flower school on Mashayamombe Road, Kadoma. It had six learners and two teachers.
Five years later, the network runs primary and high schools across Kadoma, from the City Institute to Rimuka, Waverly and Ngezi. In 2025 it was named Outstanding Private School (Primary) at the Mashonaland West Excellence Awards.
We were known as the Father Flower Group of Schools. The new name, Father Flower Educational Network, reflects what we are becoming: a growing network of schools, and in time colleges and universities.

Discipline is our cornerstone
Discipline·Order·Service
Our leadership model is inspired by military precision and teamwork. Learners parade every morning and every afternoon, take pride in a smart uniform, and greet staff with respect. The result is a calm, focused school where children can do their best work.
A complete education
Mind, body and spirit
“We believe education should touch the mind, body and spirit. That’s how we create complete human beings ready for the demands of the modern world.”
Dr Jimmy Lemekani-Waya
Sport
Our teams play soccer, netball, volleyball and handball. At the AICZ National Ball Games finals in Harare, Father Flower won gold in every boys' and girls' category it entered.
Arts & character
Arts, culture, chaplaincy, educational tours and community outreach help learners grow in confidence, faith and service to others.
