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.
