In Grade 9, they have an opportunity to spend a term at another Academy in our network, immersing themselves in a different culture. AKA Mombasa students belong to the AKA Alumni located across the world. 

In the residences students further develop their understanding of others as they live, grow, have fun and work together. The bonds grow deep in the dorm families as they support and celebrate each other throughout their journey at the Academy.

Finding the right fit at the Academy

“My first impression of the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa was the impressive campus with excellent modern facilities from the classrooms, to the astroturf, to the swimming pool to the amphitheatre. Both my children have enrolled at the Academy from Year 1. The elder student is in Diploma Programme 2 and the younger one in Year 5. As such we have experienced the school through different periods and transitions of academic staff and Heads and we can confidently state that the Academy has been well managed. Our principal reason was the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum which has been excellently carried out. We feel the Academy nurtures well rounded independent students equipped to deal with the fast changing modern world in which they will be able to easily adapt and grow successfully. The teachers take a keen interest in every student and are easily approachable. Having been on the PTA committee, we find the school always attentive to parents’ concerns and there is always an impetus to make positive changes, even lunch and dinner menus are discussed! One thing that struck us was the Academy’s approach to pluralism and inclusion of all. Unlike other schools, there is no favouritism. We feel this is very important where all students should be treated equally.” Sanjeev Patel, parent at Aga Khan Academy Mombasa
