We use high-resolution (≃10 pc), zoom-in simulations of a typical (stellar mass M_*≃_10¹⁰ M_☉) Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) at z ≃ 6 to investigate the stellar populations of its six dwarf galaxy satellites, whose stellar [gas] masses are in the range log (M_*/M_☉) ≃ 6-9 [log (M_gas/M_☉) ≃ 4.3-7.75]. The properties and evolution of satellites show no dependence on the distance from the central massive LBG (<11.5 kpc). Instead, their star formation and chemical enrichment histories are tightly connected to their stellar (and sub-halo) mass. High-mass dwarf galaxies (M_*≳_5×10⁸^ M^_☉) experience a long history of star formation, characterized by many merger events. Lower mass systems go through a series of short star formation episodes, with no signs of mergers; their star formation activity starts relatively late (z ≃ 7), and it is rapidly quenched by internal stellar feedback. In spite of the different evolutionary patterns, all satellites show a spherical morphology, with ancient and more metal-poor stars located towards the inner regions. All six dwarf satellites experienced high star formation rate ( > 5 M_☉ yr^–1) bursts, which can be detected by James Webb Space Telescope while targeting high-z LBGs.
