Kgaswe International School began as a small school with 6 pupils in 1986. The only teacher and headmistress was Mrs. Gill. The school started in Mrs Gill’s home. The parents were all employees of Botswana Power Corporation who had opened up Morupule Power Station near to the town of Palapye. Botswana Power Corporation decided to assist the new school and provided a prefabricated building for the school to move into. This building is currently the school’s administration block. Mrs. Gill remained at Kgaswe until 1989 during which time the school grew slowly. In 1990, Mr. Keith Milford was appointed headmaster. During his term of office, the school began to grow a little faster and new classroom blocks were built to accommodate this expansion. Mr. Milford remained at Kgaswe until 1994.
