From a Small Dream to a Global Movement
Zimba International Academy was founded in 2015 with a vision that seemed impossible: to create a holistic educational experience that develops both the mind and the creative spirit.
What started as a small chess club with just 12 students in a modest classroom has grown into a comprehensive international academy offering diverse programs in chess, music, arts, technology, and communication. Today, we stand as a beacon of excellence, nurturing well-rounded individuals who go on to become leaders, innovators, and changemakers in their communities.
Our journey has been fueled by passion, dedication, and an unwavering belief that every child possesses unseen potential waiting to be unleashed. We've grown from a local initiative to an international movement, with students and partners across 25 countries.
