AKA Maputo Parental Questionnaire: July 2020
Dear parents,
Please find a questionnaire below seeking your feedback on the Academy’s re-opening plans. As you will know, the President has recently announced the phased re-opening of public schools. We are, therefore, in the process of considering scenarios for re-opening the Academy.
We seek your feedback on four scenarios available to us currently:
- School re-opening on August 10th as per the calendar with a phased introduction of classes to ensure health and wellness.
- School postponing a phased opening until 1st September 2020 but with online learning taking place from August 10th.
- School re-opening in August with online learning until mid-term in October
- School continues to provide online learning until Jan 2021
Please note that we seek your views in order to help us make the best decision. We know that not everybody will have the same opinion – but we will, along with a representative group of parents, ensure that any scenario places the educational and social well-being of the students at the heart of the decision making process.
Caros Pais e Encarregados de Educação,
Encontrem nesta comunicação um questionário que servirá para obter o vosso feedback sobre os planos de reabertura da Academia. Como devem saber, o Presidente anunciou recentemente a reabertura faseada das escolas públicas. Estamos, portanto, no processo de considerar cenários para a reabertura da Academia.
Temos em análise quatro possíveis cenários:
- Reabertura da escola a 10 de Agosto, de acordo com o calendário, com uma introdução faseada das aulas para garantir a saúde e bem-estar;
- Adiamento da abertura gradual até 1 de Setembro de 2020, mas com aprendizagem on-line a tomar lugar a partir de 10 de Agosto;
- Reabertura da escola em Agosto, com aprendizagem on-line até meados de Outubro.
- A escola continua com aprendizagem on-line até janeiro de 2021
Note que buscamos as vossas opiniões para ajudar-nos a tomar a melhor decisão. Sabemos que nem todos terão a mesma opinião - mas, juntamente com um grupo representativo de pais, garantiremos que qualquer cenário coloque o bem-estar educacional e social dos alunos no centro do processo de tomada de decisão.

Admission Requirements
Choosing a school is an important decision in a child's and parent's life. We are here to help and answer any questions you might have.
We welcome enquiries about applying to the Academy. Our programmes are based on the principles and practices of the International Baccalaureate for primary and secondary-level students. The admission requirements for all the Academy's programmes, including language requirements, are outlined below.
Admission is competitive and based on student merit, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The Academy endeavours to meet the demonstrated financial need of each admitted student.
Junior School
Grades 1–5: Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Students entering grade 1 ideally will have completed at least three years of nursery school and must be 6 years of age by 1 September of the year of entry.
Students may enter the first two years of the PYP without a strong prior knowledge of one of the languages of instruction, English or Hindi. However, in the last three years of the PYP, students must have a basic level of proficiency in both languages before they may be admitted.
Senior School
Students applying to the Senior School must have attained high scholastic achievement in their former educational institutions. They should also demonstrate a keen interest and participation in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, arts and music, and/or participation in community service projects outside the classroom.
Grades 6–10: Middle Years Programme (MYP)
Students without an intermediate level of proficiency in English may be admitted to the Middle Years Programme on a case-by-case basis. MYP students have the opportunity to study language A (language and literature) in both the official language (English) and national language (Hindi).
Grades 11–12: Diploma Programme (DP)
Applicants for the Diploma Programme must have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement as well as a record of active involvement in extracurricular and community service activities.
