Our diverse student body grows!

As with every new academic year, we welcomed many new students from many new places to our AKA Mombasa community. Students joined us from various schools around Kenya including Braeburn and Strathmore and from various countries within East Africa and around the world. The one thing they all have in common is that they love being at AKA Mombasa! Some of them tell us what they love about the Academy.

Mwangi Njoroge in DP1 joined us from Strathmore.

“My favourite part of school is the enrichments, over the weekend for residential students there are so many fun activities. I’m finding classes very interesting and there is a lot of good engagement between the students and with the teacher. It’s very easy to communicate with teachers even after school hours. The Academy has a very supportive environment, everyone is so friendly and nice.”
