The
school follows the British Academic system and implements
relevant innovations in teaching techniques, assessment and
methodology, as appropriate. Any pupil should be able to
transfer directly to any independent or state school in
Britain without undue difficulty, should the need arise, as
academic levels attained at Mombasa Academy are equivalent to,
or in advance of those institutions.
The
following is a guide to how your child may progress through the
