Oshwal Academy Mombasa Senior School is a happy, diverse and stimulating place where students aged 12 – 18 thrive in all kind of ways.
Our greatest strength is indisputably the relationship between our staff and our students – at this juncture in education, the academic environment will by nature become gradually more demanding, but here at Senior School a team of exemplary staff work very hard to create a challenging, exciting and supportive learning environment that equips our students with resilience and intellectual rigor.
A culture of high expectations throughout our entire community allows our students to be highly successful and balanced individuals. The success of our approach is borne out by our exceptional academic results year in year out. This year, graduates accepted offers from the world’s top universities such as York University, Pretoria University, and McGill University. We have a rich, varied and growing curriculum that culminates in A levels.
Our strength on the sports field and on the stage increasingly sees us as a force to be reckoned with. The same is true of our debating teams who do exceptionally well in the World Scholars Cup and Model United Nations.
Our team has been carefully selected for their dedication to pursuing educational excellence and for their commitment to supporting student growth. They are passionate about learning and are role models for our students to look up to. For them learning is personal.
Inspiring purpose, driving passion
At Senior School, every student is encouraged to engage in a vital and contemporary academic environment. Our curriculum is both broad and well-balanced and we have developed a range of learning strategies both in and out of the classroom to give every student the best possible chance of success.

Our transition process into Senior School is smooth, happy and exciting. Students come fully prepared in September having gone through a comprehensive and enjoyable transition programme.
In Year 7 to Year 9, we follow the Cambridge International Examinations Secondary Syllabus to complement the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) which prepares students for IGCSE. All students learn English, Kiswahili, Mathematics and Kenyan History which the Government of Kenya has declared compulsory. Students are also introduced to Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Business Studies.
We provide a diverse curriculum at Key Stage 4 (Year 10 – Year 11) which we believe gives every student the very best chance of success.
Students choose from an extensive range of subjects in creative arts, technology, humanities, languages and core subjects from the following subject groups.
Group One: Languages
Group Two: Humanities and Social Sciences
Group Three: Sciences
Group Four: Mathematics
Group Five: Creative, Technical and Vocational
The Cambridge IGCSE is a two-year educational syllabus that is set and externally examined by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) in the United Kingdom. After successfully completing the two year course, the students are equipped with the prerequisite knowledge, skills and attitudes that make them fit in the global society.
OAM Senior School offers learning pathways that gives students the opportunity to study IGCSE and A-Level alongside a wide range of subjects. The Advanced Level International General Certificate of Education (IGCE A-levels) is completed in Year 11. The first year of A-levels is the Advanced Subsidary (AS) level. Students start their AS Year taking four to five subjects, out of which they choose three to four stronger ones to focus on in Year 12 and later proceed in the second year to the A2 level, Year 13.
The Cambridge International A Level is reported on a grade scale from A* (highest) to E (minimum required performance). There is no A* grade for Cambridge International AS Levels, which run from grade A to E.
