Prince Edward School (or Prince Edward, commonly referred to as PE) is a public, boarding and day school for boys aged 13 to 19 in Harare, Zimbabwe. It provides education facilities to 1200+ boys in Forms I to VI. The school is served by a graduate staff of over 100 teachers.

Prince Edward School was also ranked as one of the Top 10 High Schools in Zimbabwe in 2014. History Prince Edward was established in 1898 in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), as Salisbury Grammar. It was renamed Salisbury High School in 1906 and adopted its current name in 1925 when visited by Edward, Prince of Wales. It is the second oldest boys' school in Harare and in Zimbabwe after its main sporting rival, St George's College. The School's badge is a crown and three feathers, granted to it by Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII of the UK) in the 1920s. The school's colours are maroon and dark green. For its centenary, Prince Edward School adopted a new coat of arms which does not replace the school's badge. The motto of the school "Tot Facienda Parum Factum" ("So much to do, So little done") is attributed as Cecil John Rhodes' last words.
