About Trident Schools
The Trident group of schools – comprising Trident College (ages 12-18), Trident Prep Solwezi (ages 4-11), Trident Prep Kalumbila (ages 4-11), and Trident Prep Lusaka (ages 4-11) – offers an exceptional all-round educational experience for both Zambian and expatriate students.

About Trident Preparatory Kalumbila
Trident Preparatory Kalumbila (TPK) is a thriving, close-knit school community located in Kalumbila, in the North-Western Province of Zambia. Established in 2014 to serve families in the surrounding mining community, the school provides a co-educational day-schooling experience for over 70 pupils, spanning Early Years to Year 7, with some combined classes. Situated in a breathtaking ancient forest, adjacent to a Peter Matkovich-designed golf course and a magnificent lake, with access to game reserves and outstanding sporting and co-curricular facilities, the school provides an inspiring and enriching learning environment.
Commissioned and supported by First Quantum Minerals (FQM), TPK is more than just a school – it is a vital hub for the Kalumbila community.
