Primary Years Programme
The Aga Khan Academy Mombasa was authorised to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) curriculum by the International Baccalaureate in April 2007.
Foundations for lifelong learning
We offer the PYP for students in years 1–5 (aged 6–10). The programme focuses on the development of the whole child. It is geared towards creating independent, confident and respectful learners.
Our classroom curriculum and after-school activities address the children's social, physical, cultural and ethical development while giving them a strong foundation in all the major areas of knowledge.
The curriculum consists of five essential elements:
- Concepts
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Attitude
- Action
The core subjects we cover include English language, mathematics, social studies, science and technology. The Primary Years Programme at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa also includes a beginning computing course, physical education, music, art and Kiswahili.
Students and teachers explore questions in all subject areas using an interactive, student-centred approach. The knowledge element of the curriculum is enhanced by six themes that are studied across the various subject disciplines. These are:
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organise ourselves
- Sharing the planet
The PYP develops well-rounded students who are well versed in all areas of knowledge. They learn to be intellectually curious, principled, caring, open-minded, well balanced and reflective learners.
Please click here to learn more about the PYP Exhibition, which takes place in year 5. The Exhibition is a capstone experience for each PYP student.
Please visit the Admission Requirements page or contact us to find out more about applying to the PYP at the Academy.

The Academies Network
The Aga Khan Academy Maputo is the third in a planned network of Aga Khan Academies being established in countries across Africa, South and Central Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
The aim of the Academies is to develop future leaders with the skills and knowledge to support positive development in their societies. We achieve this by recruiting exceptional young people from all backgrounds and providing them with the highest international standard of education.
Admission is means-blind and based on merit to ensure access for eligible students regardless of financial circumstances.
"...the Academies will be serious, focused, rigorous environments – but at the same time they will be spacious and joyous places. They will operate on the cutting edge of knowledge and pedagogy, but they will be rooted in history and steeped in tradition."
When complete, the network of Academies will form a global learning community of approximately 18 schools in 14 countries (map).
They will eventually serve approximately 14,000 girls and boys of exceptional calibre, graduating 1,500 students annually.
