Msomba Primary School

Msomba Primary School is a full primary school at Kalegha, in the Chintheche area of Nkhata Bay District, on the shore of Lake Malawi in the country's Northern Region. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists "Msomba F.P. School" as a voter registration and polling centre in the Chintheche ward of the Nkhata Bay Chintheche constituency, under Nkhata Bay District Council. Other centres in the ward include Bandawe F.P. School, Chintheche F.P. School and Chintheche CDSS. "F.P." stands for full primary, meaning a school that teaches the whole primary cycle. In Malawi, primary education runs from Standard 1 to Standard 8 and ends with the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Tuition has been free in government primary schools since 1994. Chintheche is a lakeshore settlement about 40 kilometres south of Nkhata Bay, on the M5 road between Nkhata Bay and Nkhotakota. It was the headquarters of Nkhata Bay District until about 1950, and its beaches and lodges, known as the Chintheche Strip, draw visitors; the Lake of Stars music festival was held there from 2004 to 2007. Across the district, cassava is the staple crop and people along the lake earn their living from fishing. Term dates and admission arrangements have not been published online, so it is advisable to contact the school before travelling.
