Mzuzu Academy

A Local Environment Where Students Thrive
Our philosophy
Maloto believes that quality, competitive
schooling should be an option for all children. It’s not sufficient
to teach our children only to read and write. We must also
teach our children to be analytical, to be problem-solvers and to be
compassionate leaders. We
have lost a generation to HIV/AIDS. Today’s children are truly
tomorrow’s leaders. Maloto is dedicated to preparing children
for this important role.
Our work
In
response to the critical shortage of secondary schools in Malawi, Maloto
is building Mzuzu Academy, which will be the first internationally accredited
secondary school in the northern region of Malawi. It
will offer small class sizes and excellent facilities, including a
library, computer and science labs, dormitories, and a modern kitchen
and dining hall. The school will also attract experienced and
dedicated teachers -- from Malawi and abroad -- to instruct students
in the internationally recognized IGCSE curriculum. When doors
open in 2010, Mzuzu Academy will educate 400 of Malawi’s brightest
students and will offer scholarships to students who do not have the
financial means to attend a competitive secondary school. To date,
16 classrooms and bathrooms have been built. Work is on going
to complete the remaining facilities.
Our community
The children are not the only members
of the community who will benefit from Mzuzu Academy. It will also
offer much-needed employment opportunities for Malawians, newly qualified
teachers in particular. Maloto is dedicated to the development of local
professionals and leaders. Mzuzu
Academy will work closely with the community, including purchasing
food from local, small-scale farmers.

Help us open our doors in Fall 2010!
See our progress. |
