A Catholic boys' school where faith, learning and brotherhood shape young men. Part of the Christian Brothers tradition in Mazabuka since 1964.
St. Edmund's Secondary School has formed young men in Mazabuka since 1964, grounded in the Catholic faith and the Christian Brothers' tradition of education. From the classroom to the chapel to the sports field, our community is built on the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice: educating the whole person.
Our academic departments prepare our students for the School Certificate Examination and beyond.
The latest updates on our teachers and alumni.
Opening and closing Mass each term, weekly Mass, and student-led prayer through the Oratory.
Led by the Head Boy, Vice Head Boy and the full Prefects' Body.
From JETS science fairs to LATAZ competitions, Edmund Rice Day and inter-house sport.
St. Edmund's takes its name and mission from Blessed Edmund Rice, the Irish founder of the Congregation of Christian Brothers, who devoted his life to the education of boys who had no other access to schooling. That same charism brought the Christian Brothers to Mazabuka in 1964, and continues to shape this school today.
