About the School

St. Andrews International Primary School is situated in a serene, green area of Blantyre, the commercial center of Malawi. This esteemed institution has established a solid reputation not only in Malawi but also throughout Southern Africa and globally.

We are currently embarking on an exciting journey of transformation to meet the demands of the 21st century, while nurturing an inclusive atmosphere that allows every child to flourish.

A significant aspect of our transformation includes the integration of AI, STEM, and vocational skills into our primary teaching and learning methodologies.

Through Inquiry-Based Learning and modern technical skills, we prepare our students with the resilience and creativity needed for today's world.

Outside the classroom, the stunning landscapes of Mount Mulanje and the renowned shores of Lake Malawi present incredible opportunities for both adventure and relaxation.

The Role

The successful candidate will develop and implement a high-quality physical education and swimming program that promotes health, resilience, and teamwork. This role is vital to our commitment to ensuring a rich and fulfilling future for every student.
