Our Religious, intellectual and moral traditions provide the underlying foundation for our aspirations as a community of scholars and administrators and they shape the spirit with which we engage each other and the society. They  also  distinguish us from the academies of many other fine colleges in the country.

Zimbabwe School of Mines believes commitments to faith and service are both compatible and complementary and mutually beneficial. In this way, our character informs all it does. We pursue discoveries  and academic excellence both because of the scholarly and scientific achievements they represent, and because of the potential these breakthroughs have for a mining industry deeply in need. Our calling as a community rooted in faith compels us to serve one another while excelling in academics. We pursue both with equal rigor.
