John Mackenzie School is a historic private school situated in Francistown, Botswana.

It caters for the education of boys and girls from Transition (Standard 0) to A-Levels in a multi-cultural, interdenominational environment. The school is Francistown's first English-medium education institution for primary and secondary education. A Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) accredited institution, it is highly regarded as the school of choice in Northern Botswana and the country at large, and as a gateway to the best local and international institutions of higher education.[1]

It is named in honour of Scottish missionary John Mackenzie (1835–99), who spent his working life among, and who argued for the rights of, the Tswana people.
