Located 1.5 km outside of Monze town, the school is situated in a very
serene and secure environment. Students and parents love it. The word "LWENGU", means "SABLE ANTELOPE" in the Zambian language of TONGA. This proud animal symbolizes independence, strength and individuality - three qualities we like to engender in our students. In addition to the core subjects, the school offers computer lessons. It also has a variety of clubs catering to those students who have a taste for chess, maths, boy scouts, science, culture, chongololo, culture and crafts. There is an extensive library which is rich in story and reference books. Shatis and Joyce Vlahakis feel that no education is complete without an emphasis  Nature Conservation. That is why LWENGU dedicates part of its
curriculum to teaching students a keen
environmental awareness. This is achieved by engaging them
actively in nature conservation. And it is partly why the
Vlahakis' have named their school after the
magnificent and rare Sable Antelope. 
Every
term, the school runs field trips to a places of education interest,
which include regular visits to two of Zambia's finest national parks, KAFUE and LOCHINVAR, located on the school's doorstep.

knows these parks like the back of his hand.And as for sports, LWENGU is unequalled. On the extensive playing fields, LWENGU conducts a highly motivational athletic programme, which includes football, volleyball, netball and basketball.
