International Schools in Mombasa, Kenya

International schools in Mombasa are largely coastal day schools serving the Nyali, Kizingo and Shanzu neighbourhoods and are characterised by British-style programmes alongside at least one full International Baccalaureate (IB) provider. English is the normal language of instruction and Swahili is commonly taught as a compulsory or additional language, with some schools offering bilingual pathways. Annual tuition in the city ranges from relatively modest community-oriented international schools (a few hundred thousand Kenyan shillings a year at the lower end) up to multi-term fees that can exceed several million shillings at full IB/academy campuses, with additional charges for registration, meals, transport and exams. The academic year in many schools follows a September start with assessments and offers concentrated in the months before term; schools also routinely accept mid-year entries where places are available, so families usually begin applications many months before an anticipated September start or sooner if they need a specific year group.
