Bishop Mtekateka Secondary School

Location & History

Bishop Mtekateka Secondary School is one of the two schools under the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi offering secondary school education. It is located on the eastern branch off M5 road from Nkhotakota Boma crossroads along the road to St. Anne’s hospital at Nkhotakota Lay Training Centre campus.

The school first opened its doors on 16th April, 2007, as a brain child of the Board of Management of Nkhotakota Lay Training center. Initially, the school was named Nkhotakota Lay secondary school and later changed to Bishop Mtekateka as a posthumous recognition of the first black bishop, Josiah Mtekateka, in the Anglican Church. However, the idea to establish the school was hatched to fulfill three aims: To offer quality secondary school education to the people in Nkhotakota and the surrounding Districts, Educate morally upright young citizens through Christian values and Act as an income generating activity in order to financially support the church in the propagation of the gospel.
