The Mombasa Academy

The Mombasa Academy, founded in 1978, is a well-established British-curriculum international school in the Nyali district of Mombasa serving approximately 800 students from nursery through A-Level. The school follows the British National Curriculum, preparing students for IGCSE and A-Level examinations and consistently achieving good results that support students' admission to universities in the United Kingdom, Kenya, and worldwide. The Mombasa Academy is particularly well known for leveraging Mombasa's unique coastal location for water sports, including swimming, sailing, and other marine activities that complement a comprehensive physical education programme. The school's Nyali location places it in one of Mombasa's most desirable residential neighbourhoods, serving the expatriate community, international business families, and the growing Kenyan professional class. The campus features modern classrooms, science laboratories, an ICT suite, library, sports facilities, and dedicated arts spaces. Extracurricular activities are an important part of the school's culture, encompassing sports, arts, music, drama, and community service. The Mombasa Academy's nearly five decades of educational provision makes it one of the most trusted and respected international schools on Kenya's coastline.
