“An education must equip students with the tools that enable them to adapt and thrive, in a world characterised by change. Education that prepares children for life must go beyond fundamental skills to stimulate creativity, intellectual curiosity and honest inquiry."
His Highness the Aga Khan, Foreword to Excellence in Education, Aga Khan Academies, 2003

Our Education

We teach the rigorous International Baccalaureate curriculum all the way from primary to upper secondary. Through our enquiry based approach to learning, students develop independent and collaborative learning skills, problem solving and critical thinking. Find out more about our programme

We also ensure that students develop their gifts and talents through a wide range of sports, arts and cultural activities, nurturing the holistic development of each child.

Our teachers are highly qualified, experienced and committed to their ongoing professional development. 

From Grade 6 onwards, our students can join our unique residential programme, enjoying community life in a multicultural environment.

Our Network​

Our Network

We are part of a global network of Academies, established by His Highness the Aga Khan as part of the Aga Khan Development Network. Our partners include government bodies, development agencies and universities, as well as the IB itself.

There are currently four operating Academies within the network. The staff and students collaborate to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

Our Values​

Our Values

The five Aga Khan Strands (AK Strands), Ethics, Pluralism, Cultures, Governance and Civil Society and Economics for Development,  are infused throughout the educational experience at the Academy. As the students engage with the ideas explored through the Strands they develop strong values and a pluralistic mindset. 

We also emphasise leadership and community service throughout the programme, giving students considerable practical experience and an understanding of global issues, a sense of civic responsibility and the skills to become ethical and effective leaders.
