In May of 2009, the Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa became the first school in Kenya to be authorised to offer the Middle Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organisation. There are currently 708 schools in the world and only a handful on the African continent authorised for this programme.
This achievement was down to the hard work and dedication of a largely local staff who have proven themselves to be fast learners. Critically, it now allows the Academy to better instil local culture and relevant learning into the lives of their students, while simultaneously being able to better prepare them specifically for the challenges which await them as they enter the Diploma programme in the last two years of their time at the Academy.
