Welcome New Year 11s

We are pleased to announce that the Year 11 intake is currently ongoing. We encourage all eligible students to register early, as we look forward to another year of academic excellence and holistic development.

Academics

Students follow a structured syllabus throughout their time at the madrassa and school and progress is assessed annually through oral and written examinations. The majority of Islamic books used by the students are written in Arabic. Students are also taught the correct pronunciation of the holy Quran in Arabic; Tajweed.

Academic Trips and Outings

Your child will be taken care of to the best of our ability in madrassa and school and all trips/outings. In case of any injury beyond our control, any financial expenses incurred shall be borne by the parent/guardian of the child.

Hadith of The day

Narrated `Abdullah bin Buhaina:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) once led us in a prayer and offered two rak`at and got up (for the third rak`a) without sitting (after the second rak`a). The people also got up with him, and when he was about to finish his prayer, we waited for him to finish the prayer with Taslim but he said Takbir before Taslim and performed two prostrations while sitting and then finished the prayer with Taslim.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1224, Book 22, Hadith 1,Vol. 2, Book 22, Hadith 315

"What makes this school unique are the people, especially the teachers and the students. I feel like they make learning more engaging, give us challenging topics, and help us learn and improve in everyday life"

It is a nice school because the teachers always make sure all your notes are updated, and if not, they help you and explain where you don't understand."

(School President)

Welcome to Rowdha International Academy, a place where academic excellence, strong values, and holistic development come together to shape the leaders of tomorrow.

At Rowdha, we proudly offer the internationally recognized Cambridge Curriculum from Year 1 through to Year 12. For our youngest learners, we provide a solid foundation through the Montessori approach at the Early Years stage, ensuring that each child develops curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Our institution is uniquely integrated to nurture both the mind and the soul. Alongside secular education, learners engage in structured Madrasa sessions where Qur’anic teachings and Islamic values are instilled across all age groups. This balanced approach ensures our students grow into morally upright individuals guided by faith and knowledge.

We are a registered Cambridge examination centre for Checkpoint examinations at Year 6 and Year 9, and we are actively working towards full registration for IGCSE and A-Level examinations. This progression reflects our commitment to providing a complete and globally competitive academic pathway.

Strategically located in Kileleshwa, Nairobi, along Vihiga Road, our school offers a serene and conducive learning environment that supports both academic focus and personal growth.

At the heart of our mission is the commitment to nurture learners into world leaders and responsible citizens, grounded firmly in Islamic values. We believe in shaping character just as much as intellect.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of co-curricular activities to support talent development and physical well-being. These include soccer, archery, cookery, skating, taekwondo, among others—ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to discover and develop their unique abilities.

We invite you to join our vibrant learning community, where excellence is pursued, values are upheld, and every child is empowered to succeed.
