Chinyama CDSS

Chinyama CDSS is a community day secondary school in the Khonjeni area of Malawi's Southern Region. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists Khonjeni as a ward of the Thyolo Khonjeni-Mangunda constituency, in its section for Thyolo District Council. The same register lists a Chinyama School as a polling centre in Mkumbiza ward, Mulanje Bale constituency, in its section for Mulanje District Council. Community day secondary schools (CDSS) are government day schools, attended by pupils who live at home rather than board. Many grew out of the former distance-education centres, which were converted into secondary schools in 1998. 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); pupils enter Form 1 after completing Standard 8 and sitting the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE). Thyolo District, whose capital is the town of Thyolo, covers 1,715 square kilometres and had 458,976 residents at the 2018 census. Neighbouring Mulanje District had 428,322 residents at the same census and is known for its tea-growing industry and for Mount Mulanje, one of the highest peaks in southern Africa. The school has not published a telephone number, fees, term dates or admission arrangements online, so it is worth asking locally before travelling.
