Situated 15 km north of Mombasa Island, the Ananda Marga Academy of Kiembeni, Kenya, strives to provide a holistic education to children from nursery school through the eighth year of primary education. The school was founded in 1990 with the initial aim of providing a good pre-school foundation for the children of the orphanage, which is located on the same compound.
The vision and scope of the school have grown manifold; it began with about fifteen children and currently educates 460 children from the estate and surrounding villages. From pre-school, it expanded to eight years of primary school, which the Ministry of Education registered in 2003. From having two small classrooms, the physical structures expanded to the current twelve classrooms, one learning resource center and library, one hall/canteen, and administrative offices. It also grew to incorporate special features that are not commonly found in the Kenyan public or private schools.
