The College provides secondary education as well as an Agricultural course for girls and boys between the ages of 13 and 19.

Watershed College is a member of the Association of Trust Schools (ATS) and the Headmistress is a member of the Conference of Heads of Independent Schools in Zimbabwe (CHISZ).

[2] Watershed College was formed in 1987 when farmers living in the area in Marondera decided to create a school for their children.

The schools around at the time – Peterhouse Group of Schools – were too selective for the farmers and for this reason they decided to form their own institute.

Farms were donated to this cause and so began Watershed College.
