Students improve their Creativity
Students empowered with creativity and skills can achieve their goals, contended Mr Raymond, Principal, the Aga Khan Academy. On Sunday, the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad, located in Maheswaram Mandalam, Hardware Park, organised a competition for students called Art from Heart. On this occasion, Mr Raymond claimed that such competitions will help students in developing creativity. He also advised that students need to be trained in activities like drawing, music, sports, dance and so on, along with studies. These skills make students active and enthusiastic learners.
About 500 students from various schools in Secunderabad and Hyderabad had participated in the preliminary rounds which were conducted in the months of June and July. The age group targeted was between 2 to16 years.
Out of 500 participants, 140 students qualified for the next round. These students took part in the grand finale event of Art from Heart, organised on the campus of the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad.
Rhea Agarwal in 6-9 years age group, Anushka Shaw in 10-12 years age group and Sai Sahiti in 13-16 years age group were the winners. The prizes were given away by the Principal, Mr Raymond. Each participant received a trophy, a memento and a certificate. In this event, the head of the the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad, Dr Geoffery Fisher, Imran Bandeali, students and parents took part.

Students build organic farm
A group of Ismaili students from Afghanistan and Tajikistan made the most of a difficult situation when they were unable to return home from the Aga Khan Academy in Hyderabad during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the abundance of spare time they were suddenly given, the students planned and implemented an organic farm on the school grounds.

Primary Years Programme
The Aga Khan Academy Maputo has been accredited as an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme (Grades K–5).
Foundations for lifelong learning
The Primary Years 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

The core subjects we cover include English language, mathematics, science and technology, and social studies. Our programme also includes a beginning computing course, physical education, music, art, French and Portuguese.
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
