Chibavi Community Day Secondary School

Chibavi Community Day Secondary School is a community day secondary school (CDSS) in Chibavi, Mzuzu, in the Northern Region of Malawi. The Malawi Electoral Commission lists it as Chibavi CDSS. The Commission's 2025 register of voter registration centres, in its Mzuzu City Council section, lists Chibavi CDSS as a centre in the Chibanja ward of the Mzuzu City South East constituency. The other centres in the same ward are Chibanja ADMARC, Chibanja Primary School and Chibavi F.P. School, a full primary school. Secondary education in Malawi runs from Form 1 to Form 4 and ends with the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Community day secondary schools are day schools serving their surrounding communities; they grew out of the former distance-education centres, which were converted into CDSSs in 1998. Under the Ministry of Education's Free Secondary Education initiative, public secondary schools charge no tuition, national examination or School Development Fund fees; boarding fees are not covered. Mzuzu is the capital of Malawi's Northern Region and the country's third-largest city, with 221,272 residents at the 2018 census. It lies within Mzimba District, in a gap in the Viphya Mountains, and the surrounding farmland is known for tea, rubber and coffee. The city developed from 1947 around the Commonwealth Development Corporation's tung oil estate, gained city status in 1985 and is home to Mzuzu University, founded in 1999. Term dates and admission arrangements have not been published online, so phoning ahead before a visit is advisable.
