Highgate Academy Secondary School is a secondary school recorded in Port Reitz, Changamwe, Mombasa County, Kenya.

Highgate Academy Secondary School: background and identity
An archival school directory identifies Highgate Academy Secondary as a private, mixed day school sponsored by a private individual in Port Reitz, Changamwe, with reference code L3041001. Port Reitz is more specific than the broad Changamwe label. These are historical identification details, not confirmation of the school’s current grades or registration. The school is distinct from similarly named academies elsewhere in Kenya.
Highgate Academy Secondary School: location, postal address and school details
Recorded locality: Port Reitz, Changamwe, Mombasa County
County: Mombasa
Historical postal address: P.O. Box 98524, Mombasa (historical record)
School classification: Historical private, mixed day school; confirm present arrangements.
Because a postal town or historic constituency label may differ from a current physical campus, obtain an official map pin, directions and the current school office contact before travelling.
Secondary curriculum and Grade 10 learning pathways
Kenya’s transition to the competency-based education system makes it important to verify the actual grades the school currently offers. Ask management for written confirmation of Grade 10 approval and which subject combinations are available in STEM, Social Sciences and Arts and Sports Science. A historical designation as a secondary school does not guarantee approval for every senior-school pathway, subject or boarding category.
Families can also ask about language choices, science-practical teaching, learning support, teacher availability and how students receive guidance on academic pathways and career options.
Applying to Highgate Academy Secondary School
Before completing an application, enquire about vacancies for the relevant year or grade, admission deadlines, eligibility, placement and transfer procedures, and whether an interview or assessment is required. Ask for a written joining letter listing the reporting day, necessary identification and previous school records, uniform, books, stationery and any special requirements. Confirm that all documents and payments are being provided to authorised school staff.
School fees, payment schedules and financial assistance
No independently verified current fee structure has been established for this particular school. Ask the school for a dated breakdown of tuition, meals, examinations, activity fees, learning materials, transport, uniform and boarding, if any. Enquire about payment dates, instalment options, bursaries, scholarships and refunds. Verify the official bank or mobile-money beneficiary directly with the school’s current management before sending money, and retain receipts.
Highgate Academy Secondary School: KCSE results and academic performance
Archived KNEC figures show KCSE mean scores of 4.568 for 37 candidates in 2010, 4.343 for 35 candidates in 2009, 5.222 for 18 candidates in 2008 and 6.000 for one candidate in 2007. These are old examination-year records and must not be interpreted as current performance.
When assessing school performance, request verified KCSE mean grades and candidate numbers for specific examination years, and compare several cohorts if possible. Check subject options, teaching continuity, learning support and school attendance alongside examination outcomes. See the KCSE results information guide for general examination guidance.
Facilities, student wellbeing and school life
Parents should inspect classrooms, science equipment, library facilities, ICT resources, washrooms, water and recreation space during a school visit rather than assuming the school has any particular facility. Ask about counselling, discipline, safeguarding, health and first aid, extracurricular activities and communication with guardians. For day-school learners, verify hours and transport safety; if the school currently offers boarding, enquire about supervision, meals, dormitories and emergency procedures.
Contact information and visiting the school
A reliable current telephone number, official email and website were not independently confirmed for this profile. The school office and relevant education office can help verify contacts, physical location, registration and admission dates. Do not rely on an unverified third-party bank account or social-media contact when making payments or sending personal learner records.
