SAIntS offers students the widest range of internationally-recognised British qualifications in Malawi, with nearly 40 different IGCSE, BTec, International A Level and A Level courses available.

Co-Curricular Enrichment
We believe passionately in educating the whole child and that the wide range of sporting, skills-based, leadership and charitable activities we offer students alongside their timetabled lessons not only enriches their personal development but contributes to their academic success.

Mrs Masina and Mrs Sailes: Our New Global Schools Advocates

We are delighted to congratulate two SAIntS teachers who officially graduated on Sunday from the Global Schools Advocates Program (GSAP) in a virtual graduation ceremony attended online by hundreds of educators worldwide. Mrs. Estina Masina and Mrs. Naomi Sailes recently completed this prestigious six‑month international training and advocacy programme which equips educators with the tools and knowledge to integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into their teaching practice, empowering students to become informed, compassionate, and capable future leaders.

Upile Makes History at Global Robotics Competition

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Upile, one of our talented SAIntS students, who has made history on the world stage! Upile represented Malawi at the FIRST Global Challenge in Panama, becoming the youngest participant at this prestigious international robotics competition.
The event brought together teams from over 190 countries to design and build robots addressing real-world challenges, with this year’s theme focused on sustainability and environmental solutions. Despite her young age, Upile impressed judges and peers alike with her creativity, teamwork, and technical skill. Her remarkable achievement shines a light on Malawi’s growing role in STEM and serves as an inspiration to young girls across Africa to dream big in science and innovation.
SAIntS Hosts Inaugural Sustainability Summit
October 2025
Our ALAMAU Club of 2024/25 organised and hosted an incredibly successful Sustainability Summit, the first of its kind in Malawi.
SAIntS Hosts Inaugural Sustainability Summit
This year has been a busy year for the ALAMAU club of 2024-2025! From attending ALAMAU last academic year, and now hosting our own conference for local Blantyre schools, we have been thrown out of our comfort zones and into roles of leadership.
We took our passion, and soon after began preparing for our own conference – the SAIntS Sustainability Summit! Inviting other Blantyre schools with children just a couple of years younger than us, we prepared to act as the Dais. From delegates to Dais in just a matter of months! We now became the Chairs and Moderators. The challenges were very different. This transition required immense preparation and coordination, such as creating study guides, reading position papers, and setting criteria for conference awards. We hosted two days of grueling but fruitful committee sessions focused on a range of topics about sustainability. These ranged from pollution, to urbanisation, to clean water. The committees all put their work together on the final day when the Heads of State approved on the first SAIntS Sustainability Charter.
Seeing how it all came together made all the hard work worthwhile. Watching our younger peers from all over the city coming together and collaborating as diplomats was truly rewarding. Hopefully, they carry these lessons forward and continue the discussions about sustainability.
