Saint Andrew’s International High School offers students a full and rounded education based on a British curriculum adapted to a Malawian context. We balance our rigorous academic programme with a wide range of activities and sports to support our aim of realising the full potential of each individual. Entry to the school is non-selective, though once admitted, we test students so that we have the best understanding of their needs.
‘House’ is at the centre of a student’s life at SAIntS. Every student is a member of one of our four Houses: Chiradzulu (yellows), Michiru (blues), Ndirande (reds), and Soche (greens) named after the four major hills of Blantyre. Throughout the school’s history, one of the key aspects of a student’s experience has been vertical integration through the House system.
The House system at SAIntS works to ensure that every student feels that they are supported and belong. We seek to connect all ages, abilities and cultures by building opportunities for collaborative and experiential learning whilst providing opportunities for students to take responsibility and develop leadership skills.
