A SERENE HAVEN FOR LEARNING
Welcome to Mtendere Secondary School, a Catholic secondary school nestled in the scenic Dedza District. We have been shaping young minds since 1946. Our commitment extends beyond academics—we nurture character, compassion, and community spirit.
Mtendere is a Chichewa word which means “Peace” in English. It was coined by the White Fathers who came to start a mission here in 1936. They called the new mission “Mary the Queen of Peace”. People could not pronounce the whole word but chose to use the last word “Peace” which means Mtendere in Chichewa.
