Academic Programme
At the Aga Khan Academy Maputo, we unite the rigorous IB curriculum, an exceptional residential experience and the knowledge, skills and attitudes designed to create globally minded, locally rooted, ethical leaders.
We offer our students the internationally respected International Baccalaureate (IB) programme of study. This builds a solid core of knowledge and develops open-minded, principled, reflective and inquiring learners.
We weave in the unique Aga Khan Curricular Strands, which help students understand key issues from local and global perspectives, and develop an ethical and pluralistic outlook.
And we support them to put the theory into practice with leadership training, service learning and an array of activities – all in a demographically, socioeconomically and linguistically diverse environment.
AKA Maputo teachers support students with their learning by working with each other and developing strong bonds.
Students at AKA Maputo take part in various hands-on activities to enhance their learning and cognitive development.
Surrounded by peers from varying backgrounds, AKA Maputo students learn from each other and collaborate with one another, broadening their knowledge.
We offer the IB curriculum tailored to your child’s age: the Early Years programme for ages 3 to 5, the IB Primary Years Programme for junior students for Grades 1-5, the Middle Years Programme for Grades 6-10 and the Diploma Programme in the last two years of school.
While stretching students’ intellect with our academic programme, we ensure that they are prepared for the future with an interdisciplinary approach suited to real-world problem solving. They learn independently with self-directed, reflective work. But they also collaborate with classmates across the Academies, and with local communities, to instigate positive change.
Students become literate in technology and computing, with opportunities to increase their proficiency in music and the arts. We teach in English and Portuguese to produce bilingual graduates and to enable Grade 9 students to study in another country for a semester.
We have provided education, support and community for students throughout the pandemic, using online technologies tailored to our students’ needs and helping students adapt to social distancing on campus. Meanwhile, our students and alumni across the Network have seized the chance to help their communities cope.
