About Us

We select a diverse group of students with exceptional academic and leadership potential, offering financial assistance where needed. We offer them a world-class International Baccalaureate (IB) education on a residential campus with outstanding facilities, preparing them for leadership.

“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 Values

We encourage applications from students with academic and leadership potential, regardless of their family income. We offer them a pluralistic learning community with an international outlook, preparing them to work with diverse teams on global issues. But our graduates also have a strong sense of belonging to their communities, learning in Portuguese as well as English, and taught by experienced staff drawn mostly from Mozambique.

 

We emphasise leadership and community service throughout the programme, giving students considerable practical experience in problem solving and creative thinking to improve the world around them.
