Loyola Jesuit Secondary School is very clearly a Jesuit school, guided by Jesuit pedagogy, to graduate girls and boys who will be: “women and men with and for others.” One of its mottos says it clearly: “Come to Loyola Jesuit Secondary School to learn not just to make a living but to make a difference!”
Not all of the students are Catholic, but it is a Catholic school. An optional early morning Mass is offered during the week, and so far most of the students are very happy to participate. On Sundays all students must attend a religious service – the main Catholic Mass or other services of their choice. The Malawi educational curriculum has a clear place for religious instruction as well as courses that emphasise ethical wellbeing.

After several years of an empty plot and then three years of busy construction work, Loyola Jesuit Secondary School (LJSS) moved from dream to reality last year. And in January, 124 girls and boys—62 girls and 62 boys, a good gender balance— began their second term enrolled in Form One/Grade Nine in the new school of the Zambia-Malawi Jesuit Province. All are boarders with teachers housed nearby on campus.
