St. Andrew's International School in Blantyre, Malawi, was founded 1938 by the Church of Scotland Mission in Blantyre. The high school in its present form was established in 1958. SAIntS is a British International School offering (i) GCSE, A Level and BTEC qualifications and a wealth of extra-curricular opportunities.
It was founded as a series of mission schools in Limbe, Blantyre and Zomba in Nyasaland (Malawi)in the 1920s just after the First World War.[1]
With the need to further education, the school split into three parts creating a distinct kindergarten, primary school and a high school in three locations in 1957.(The High School opened on 28 January 1957)
The high school came to be known as Saint Andrews High School (SAHS) in 1958. In 1965, a year after Malawian Independence, the school changed its name to "St. Andrew's Secondary School" (SASS).
Today, Saints is an exclusive school located in the Nyambadwe suburb of Blantyre, Malawi, and has 520 students from more than 30 nationalities as part of its day and boarding school.[2]
