Student Well-being
We understand the challenges of IB study and of living away from home, and ensure that our students have a well-rounded experience in a safe and supportive environment.
Well-being Through Connection
"Being a residential parent at AKA Mombasa was my favourite thing to do during my time there. There are times throughout the experience where I felt more like an older sister to the students by providing them advice on school-related and non-school-related things, consoling them when they missed home, and just chatting about what was going on in our lives.
When I am assigned for duty on the weekends, I feel the most connected to the students. We spend some time off-campus at the movie theatre, on a hiking trail or at the beach, but also on-campus when I am supervising the pool area or basketball court during our sports hour. I will also forever cherish the intimate moments I had with the residential students, especially lying outside on the grass in front of the residences on the weekends before dinner time with a few students."

Thriving Together
“At our school, well-being is woven into the fabric of everyday life. We believe that when students feel safe, supported and empowered, they are best placed to learn, grow and thrive. Teachers play a vital role, developing strategies through training to create safe, supportive and engaging classrooms. Students shape well-being initiatives, bring forward ideas and foster a culture where feedback is valued. Well-being is part of who we are as a school.”
Minal Shah, Vice Principal of Student Support and Well-being, AKA Mombasa
