The high school has, by one account, been ranked as fourth best high school in Harare.[2]

St. Peter's Kubatana Training Centre in Highfield, Harare, has launched an arts and culture programme and helps students to pursue arts as a career. It also assists local artists with further training and offers space for work and for exhibitions. The technical school at St. Peter’s Kubatanahas has expanded to include welding, sewing, motor mechanics, automobile and mechanical engineering, construction and civil engineering, and woodworking.[3][4] St. Peter's is also a part of a UN effort to strengthen vocational and technical education in Zimbabwe.[5]
