Welcome
It is an absolute pleasure welcoming you to Braeburn Mombasa International School (BMIS). Braeburn Mombasa is a vibrant international community where students experience a broad, balanced education that combines academic rigour with hands-on learning. We have high expectations in all that we do, especially in how we look after ourselves, take care of others and in the education we provide. Character matters above all and our hope is that every child knows that they matter at BMIS.
Our commitment to excellence is reinforced through accreditation by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and compliance with the standards of the British Schools Overseas (BSO). BMIS is also a member of the Council of International Schools (CIS), the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA), the Kenyan International Schools Association (KAIS), and the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS). These accreditations and memberships confirm that the school meets stringent international standards while providing opportunities for both staff and student development.
Students at Braeburn Mombasa International School follow the English National Curriculum from Early Years to Key Stage Three, before choosing tailored pathways in Key Stages Four and Five including IGCSE, A-Level, and BTEC. BMIS is an exceptional place for students to learn, thrive, and prepare for a global future within a supportive, interconnected community.
I look forward to meeting you.

Curricula
Early Years
Our Early Years unit teaches children aged 18 months to 5 years (Pre-Crèche to Foundation Stage 2). We believe in play-based learning. Children explore various daily activities with free-flow access to the different classrooms and our beautiful garden.
The EYFS children enjoy weekly lessons in Music, Swimming, Physical Education and PSED (Personal, Social, and Emotional Development).
Read MorePrep School
At BMIS Prep School, we believe a truly exceptional education introduces children to the whole world, right from the start. For our pupils aged 6 to 13 years, every subject is part of the journey from day one.
Throughout both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, our curriculum seamlessly weaves together academic rigor, creative expression, and physical health. Alongside our core focus on English, Mathematics, and Science, pupils across all year groups engage in a diverse suite of subjects.
While Key Stage 1 utilises targeted phonics and foundational number work to build rock-solid confidence, the breadth of our subject offering remains constant throughout the Prep school, ensuring our older Key Stage 2 pupils can dive deeper into advanced concepts with familiar, well-loved disciplines.
Read MoreSenior School
Our Senior School provides for learners aged 13 to 18 years. Students follow a curriculum to develop the skills needed to succeed in Key Stages 4 and 5. Year 9 students are supported and guided in making their subject choices for their IGCSE examinations, which they complete in Year 11 and which are recognised worldwide. Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning but with a safety net of well-trained teachers who guide them in critical thinking processes and personal evaluation of what they are taught.
Read MoreSixth Form
Our Sixth Form (Key Stage 5) provides an opportunity for our senior students to excel academically and mature through involvement in our enrichment programme. We are the only school in Mombasa offering both A-Levels that allow specialisation in areas of strength related to future tertiary education, and the BTEC programme that provides vocational education at diploma level. Both curricula ensure that our students can achieve university placements in Kenya and abroad.
