}}Rainbow High School is a private,[2] co-educational, inter-denominational school located in Gaborone city, Botswana. It was opened in 1998. The school comprises a primary school[1], preparatory (middle) school, and a high school.[2]

History

The school began as a primary school in 1997 with one form, and then in 1998 it opened a high school.[2][3] The school initially had capacity for 75 students and had only seven teachers. The school now has more than 600 students and more than 50 staff.[2]

Facilities

Facilities include a 600-seat hall, a gym, a library, five laboratories and specialist classrooms for computer application technology, consumer studies, music and art. The computer labs and some classrooms have ADSL internet connections.{{cn|date=August 2018}}

Haircut controversy

In 2007, the school caused controversy by sending a memo to parents of black students informing them that afro haircuts would not be allowed.[4] The school reversed the decision after an intervention by actor Donald Molosi.[5]
