At Olivine School Mombasa, academic excellence and character development are deeply intertwined. The school’s mission is not only to nurture intelligent learners but also to shape responsible, grounded individuals who live out strong moral values.
Academic Excellence: How Olivine Elevates Learning
Olivine emphasizes holistic growth through Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Learning goes beyond memorization to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration — essential 21st-century skills.
Competency-Based Curriculum and Holistic Learning
Lessons are designed to build both academic knowledge and life competencies that prepare learners for real-world challenges.
Strong Literacy and Numeracy Foundations
Literacy and numeracy are strengthened through phonics, structured reading programs, grammar, comprehension, and practical math exercises supported by technology.
Differentiated and Individualized Learning
Every learner is unique. Olivine’s approach caters to various learning styles — visual, auditory, and kinesthetic — ensuring each child thrives at their own pace.
STEAM and Innovation Integration
The school’s STEAM and Digital Lab encourages hands-on exploration in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, fostering problem-solving and innovation.
Reading Culture and Writing Skills
A strong reading culture is promoted through daily reading sessions, library access, and writer’s workshops that build expression, creativity, and confidence.
Character Building: Values That Form the Person
At Olivine, character formation is as important as academic achievement. The school integrates Christian values and moral lessons into every aspect of learning.
Faith-Based and Value-Driven Education
Through Christian-based teaching and monthly moral themes, learners grow in honesty, openness, and responsibility.
Small Classes and Individual Attention
Smaller class sizes allow for personalized support, fostering emotional wellbeing and confidence.
Building Social Skills and Manners
Daily activities encourage teamwork, respect, and proper etiquette, helping children develop interpersonal skills.
Safe and Caring Learning Environment
Olivine provides a supportive space where teachers mentor learners to become resilient, disciplined, and purpose driven.
Why This Combination Matters
When academic rigor is balanced with strong moral grounding, learners grow into confident, ethical, and adaptable individuals.
For parents in Mombasa, choosing a school that delivers both ensures children are prepared not just for exams — but for life.
