An Education for Life

This Department encompasses 5 years of study, from Year 7 to Year 11. Teaching is organized departmentally, so that pupils move to subject rooms for their lessons and many of these rooms have their own resource material. All teaching staff are well-qualified graduates.

• Pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 study a full range of subjects, including Art, Drama, Language and Music but make their subject choices for I.G.C.S.E. in the third term of Year 9.

• At the end of year 11 they are expected to sit 8 or 9 external examinations which should include English, Mathematics, Science, Language and a Humanities subject. Subjects offered are Art, Biology, Chemistry, ICT, Economics, English Language. English Literature, French Geography, History, Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and Physics.

• The Careers Expert advises pupils on their choice of subjects in Year 9 bearing in mind their career inclinations.

• Throughout the Senior School all pupils participate in Physical Education and swimming lessons as well as many of the wide range extra-curricular activities that are available.

In the Secondary School pupils face increasing specialization and good, independent study skills gained throughout their years at Mombasa Academy will make significant difference to their levels of achievement. Taking pride in work of the highest quality; a positive attitude, along with a determination to work hard, will equip pupils for entry into higher education and a successful and rewarding career.
