Mzuzu Academy

Mzuzu Academy [1] is an internationally accredited secondary school with deep roots in the community of Mzuzu. It is located just outside City of Mzuzu,[2] Malawi.[3] Mzuzu Academy is a private boys and girls secondary school.

History

Mzuzu Academy was founded on the late evening of January 16, 2003 at Mr. and Mrs. Don Banda's place in the City of Kirkland, Washington State, United States of America by four Malawians: Don Banda, Victor Mhoni, Anna Msowaya-Keys and Jaster Nyasulu. At that meeting with brainstorming as their agenda, the four discussed about the school plans and fundraising activities. By May, 2003, the group had increased to ten. The new members to the board were Frazier Nyasulu, MacMillan Dalla, Sophie Nyasulu, Sheila Mkandawire, Alexander Mkandawire and Selina Mkandawire.

Curriculum

The school follows the English National Curriculum,[4] adapted to incorporate an international perspective, which leads to the University of Cambridge's International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) at the Ordinary Level in Form 5 (Year 11) and the International Baccalaureate (IB)[5] in Form 6 (Year 12).

The courses provide broad programs of study covering the usual secondary school subjects [6]
