The school opened in 1942 on land acquired by its founder Mr. M.G.Fleming. It was run as an Anglican Diocesan preparatory school for boys under the ownership of Ruzawi Schools Ltd., who bought it from Mr. Fleming, and operated successfully for many years.
A sudden decline in enrollment, due mainly to the withdrawal of large numbers of Zambian pupils, brought about the closure of the school in 1975.
In 1978 all movable property was auctioned and the buildings remained empty for partial occupation by pupils and staff of Cyrene Mission during the civil war years.
Whitestone School has been established on 28 hectares of attractive granite kopje countryside in the southern Bulawayo suburb of Burnside. The school site is rich in a wide variety of indigenous flora and fauna and offers endless opportunity for exploration and study. A blend of rocky outcrop and mixed woodlands together with well appointed sports fields makes it a playground paradise for children.
