Chipembi Girls Secondary School is one of the oldest girls' secondary schools in Zambia and it is run by the United Church of Zambia. The school was opened in 1926 and was the first girls' boarding school in Zambia that showed interest in promoting child education for girls including literacy, like skils and offering medical services.
To date many prominent women holding high positions in society are the fruits of Chipembi Girls' Secondary School. Notable among these are: Justice Florence Mumba, Dr Mutumba Bull, Gwendoline Koni, Lilly Monze and former deputy permanent secretary in the ministry of education Mrs Isabell Simukonda to mention but a few.
At present the school runs a farm with the following agricultural enterprises: maize, vegetable, beef, poultry, piggery and fruits enterprises
These enterprises provide dietary needs of the school girls. This initiative has helped to improve the welfare of girls coming from vulnerable families to access quality education at affordable rates. Originally built for 300 pupils, the school currently the school has a student population of 750 boarders.
