Kopano School

Kopano School is a private, multicultural, co-educational school located in Selebi-Phikwe, Botswana. Founded in 1972 to serve the children of BCL Mine employees, it became an independent private institution in 2002. Today, the school caters to approximately 500 learners from Kindergarten through Form 4, offering a seamless academic pathway through the Cambridge International Curriculum (Primary, Lower Secondary and IGCSE).

The school is committed to holistic education, focusing not only on academic excellence but also on the physical, emotional, social, and moral development of its students. Its vision is guided by the motto: “Not for ourselves but for all.”

Kopano School consists of three key sections:

• Primary School (Kindergarten–Grade 7): Lays strong foundations through a child-centred approach, continuous assessment, and preparation for Cambridge Primary Checkpoint exams.
• High School (Form 1–4): Offers the Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint at Form 2 and prepares students for the internationally recognised IGCSE qualifications at Form 3 and 4.
• Remmogo Remedial and Special Educational Needs Centre: Provides specialised, individualised support for children with learning difficulties, autism, and speech or communication challenges.

Kopano offers a rich co-curricular programme, including sports (swimming, athletics, netball, soccer, cricket, tennis, volleyball, basketball, squash) and cultural activities (music, marimba, drama, debate, public speaking, chess, quiz club, art, and dance), fostering creativity, teamwork, and life skills.

Modern facilities include a 25m swimming pool, sports fields, netball and tennis courts, science laboratory, computer centre, and library. The school also works with external specialists at Remmogo to ensure that children with diverse needs receive the best possible support and opportunities for growth.
