Our Campus
Our Campus
The site was kindly donated by the Mozambican government to house the third in a network of about 18 planned Academies, which offer the highest international standard of education to students in countries across Africa, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East.
The Academy’s campus is being purpose-built to provide world-class facilities for students and staff. The Junior School, Early Years Centre, Senior School, Science Building and two residential buildings are now complete, and the construction of the Academy and Commons buildings is well underway.
The campus provides an ideal learning environment that includes:
• Classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enhance collaboration, creativity, and inquiry learning
• Well-equipped libraries
• Extensive sports facilities
• Spaces for arts, music and performance
Community Service
Community service is a major part of the student experience at the Academy. Both the curriculum and student life incorporate aspects of community service.
Service opportunities extend the educational experience beyond the classroom and help our students learn about the real-world implications of their studies.
Through community projects with local organisations and groups, our students gain a sense of the connections between their education and the world around them. Students can participate in a variety of structured community initiatives and internships to learn about their place in the world.
By partnering with local agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network, students learn first-hand about the operations of an organisation, and work toward making tangible contributions to the agencies.
In addition, community engagement gives our students an understanding of broad concepts such as human rights, dignity and autonomy, while emphasising the ethos of leaving the world a better place.

Vasanthi Thandlam: Lifelong learning and giving
An active volunteer for Operation Smile, an international charity group that helps children with cleft palates around the world, Vasanthi trained at the Operation Smile head office in Norfolk, Virginia, USA and has been passionately promoting the cause for five years. She started an Operation Smile club at the American International School Chennai with a small group of high school students who went on to participate in various local and international medical missions.
Now, Vasanthi will be accompanying a team of Indian students to Vietnam to make presentations on various health modules. These not only teach prevention and basic health knowledge but also help reshape everyday habits of people with unhealthy lifestyles. Health education is an effective tool to improve health in developing nations. In the future, she hopes to bring Operation Smile to the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad.
