The Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad organised a three-day student orientation weekend for new students and parents from 22-24 July 2022.

Over the course of the summer holiday, Ruth Shastry from the Class of 2024 is focusing on her love for art. She is hoping that it will allow her to focus on her want for a career in scientific and medical illustration.

Individual acts of exceptional personal example or work can be entered into the Academy’s Book of Excellence.  Students are nominated by staff, who feel that the student’s work or contribution is so impressive that it deserves a very special recognition.  The Book of Excellence provides a written record of all outstanding pieces of work or significant contributions to the community achieved during a student’s time here.

Saraswathi Gandapaka joined the Academy in August 2017, in Grade 7. She came from a government school in Begumpet, close to where her family lived.When she arrived at the Academy it was a complete change in her life.

This field trip helped us all to explore the real culture of India, Hyderabad as we have seen historical places or developed places here but not something cultural and religious which we did during this trip.
