History
Founded in November 1981 in Mtunthama, 150 kilometres north of Lilongwe the capital city of Malawi, the school initially had 300 pupils.
Whilst Kamuzu Banda was still in power, the school only accepted the four best students from every district, who had to write a separate examination from the Primary School Leaving Certificate. Everything from uniforms to bedding, shoes, socks, textbooks, lab equipment, paints and sports attire was free. This is not the case since the school changed into a private school.
