Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Secondary School is a public school located in Mombasa, Kenya. It was established in 2008 by the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, a humanitarian organization founded by the late president of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

We aim to provide quality education and promote the values of tolerance, cooperation, and excellence among our students. The school offers a curriculum that follows the Kenyan national standards and incorporates Arabic language and Islamic studies. It also provides various facilities and extracurricular activities for its students, such as a library, a computer lab, a science lab, a sports field, and a mosque.

The school is named after Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who was the second president of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Abu Dhabi from 2004 to 2022. He was known for his visionary leadership, his generous philanthropy, and his support for education and development in many countries around the world. He was also instrumental in establishing the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Etihad Airways, and the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
We are grateful for the legacy of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and strive to honor his name by providing the best education for our students and preparing them for a bright future.

Muslim Faith
The school implements the Kenyan curriculum and is open to everyone without discrimination.

However, Muslim faith shapes the students at Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan Secondary School in various ways.
Some of them are:

  • promoting moral and spiritual growth among its students, as well as academic excellence. The school’s motto is "Faith, Knowledge, Service".


  • providing Islamic education to its students, teaching them about the Quran, the Sunnah, and the history and culture of Islam. The school also organizes Quran recitation competitions and Islamic quiz contests.


  • observing Islamic practices such as prayer, fasting, charity, and modesty. The school has a mosque where students can perform their daily prayers also encouraging them to fast during Ramadan and to donate to the needy. We have a dress code that requires students to wear uniforms that cover their bodies appropriately.


The school fosters a sense of community and brotherhood among its students, regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds.

We celebrate Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha with joy and gratitude. The school also participates in inter-school activities and events that promote peace and harmony.
