10 Reasons to Choose SAIPS
An authentic British international education, right here in Malawi.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make. At SAIPS, we believe that decision should be an easy one — built on genuine academic rigour, internationally benchmarked standards, outstanding pastoral care, and a childhood filled with opportunity and joy.
Internationally benchmarked assessment from Reception
The first school in Malawi to introduce internationally benchmarked assessment from Reception to Year 6. Every child sits UK GL Assessments and CAT4 cognitive ability testing, alongside DELF French certification — measured against leading schools in the UK and internationally.
An authentic British international education
A broad and balanced curriculum rooted in the National Curriculum for England, adapted for our Malawian context, with a minimum of 180 teaching days each year.
Small classes, highly qualified staff
Every child is known, valued and understood. Our internationally experienced teachers combine high expectations with personalised attention.
A broad, balanced, future-focused curriculum
Rigorous foundations in English, Mathematics and Science, plus critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and real-world problem-solving.
Coding, robotics and ICT & AI
From Reception to Year 6, every class pairs computing theory with hands-on coding and robotics each week, so children learn to think computationally and build with technology.
Sport, PE and structured swimming
A swimming programme built on the Swim England framework, and a PE curriculum that builds fitness, teamwork, resilience and sporting excellence.
Outstanding facilities
Facilities designed to support the whole child — academic, sporting, creative and practical — so every pupil can discover and develop their talents.
A rich enrichment programme
From the Mud Race and Go-Kart Racing to Dance, Drama, and UK and international excursions — unforgettable experiences that build confidence and character.
An internationally aligned calendar
Our calendar is aligned with leading international schools worldwide, giving globally mobile families continuity of learning.
A safe, happy, family-oriented community
Every child is known, cared for and supported — including by our Wellbeing & Learning Support team — where safeguarding, pastoral care and ambition go hand in hand.
