Forty-one students aged 14-16 years from 6 different schools across Hyderabad attended the first Leadership Skills Camp of The Aga Khan Academy on Saturday 19th November and Sunday 20th November 2011.
The network of Aga Khan Academies has been established to provide exceptional students from all backgrounds with an outstanding education. Admissions are currently being accepted for the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme at all Academies.
Promoting excellence in teaching, both on campus and more broadly, is a fundamental goal of the Aga Khan Academies. Each Academy has a Professional Development Centre that provides substantial professional learning opportunities.
