The Class of 2018 included 76 students from the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa and 84 students from the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad, many of whom will be going on to higher education at leading universities worldwide.
Year One Open House 2018
Every year the Academy invites KG3 parents and their children to the Year 1 Open House. This gives an opportunity for the Junior School students to showcase their talents and leadership, prospective parents an opportunity to find out more about the programmes at the school and for KG3 students to interact with the Academy’s Year1 students in a meaningful way.
Living on Campus
Residential life at the Academy complements and extends the academic experience. The residential programme includes a broad selection of activities and leadership opportunities to enhance students’ learning and growth.
The Academy's residential programme officially opened in April 2009. Our student residences have been designed to accommodate students and dorm parents, who are teachers who have been chosen carefully and trained to live in the faculty apartments in the student residences.
Up to four students share a room. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and large windows. Facilities include a student lounge with a breathtaking view out to sea and a large-screen television along with laundry facilities.
The Commons building houses the dining hall and an array of spaces for school activities. It is the hub of student activity and serves as the main space for major school functions, including music and drama performances and public lectures.
“The tour of the residential facility gave me a great sense of fulfillment,” said Bernard Dudi, a teacher and dorm parent. “I appreciate the amount of planning and resources and the thoroughness of the execution.”
Learning beyond the classroom
The culture of the Academy is based on respect, integrity, honesty, fairness, empathy and good humour. Our students, teachers and administrative staff create and sustain this positive learning environment.
The experience of our pluralistic learning community is especially rich for students in residence given the constant interactions among students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds.
The focus of the residential programme is on students’ intellectual, social, spiritual and physical growth in a structured and ethical environment. In the words of Aziz Batada, a former dorm parent, “The residential experience allows the typical school day – where the vision of the Aga Khan Academy is continuously being lived – to be extended, and education itself is seen as a part of every moment of an individual's life.”
The Junior and Senior Schools
The Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad is made up of two schools, the Junior School and the Senior School, which together cater to students from grade 1 (age 6) to university entrance.
Junior School
All Junior School students follow the International Bacaalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). Through the PYP, our students learn to be confident, independent and creative learners.
The Junior School building has been designed to address the needs of younger children, with age-appropriate facilities and classrooms. In addition to the PYP classrooms, the building contains the Junior School library, and music, art and information technology rooms. There are also large playing fields and a playground.
Senior School
Students in the Senior School pursue either the IB Middle Years Programme or the IB Diploma Programme. Those from the local area can choose to attend as day students, while those from other parts of the country or region live on campus as part of the residential programme.
The Middle Years Programme is for students in grades 6–10. It helps them master essential skills and knowledge, and teaches them to be critical and analytical thinkers. The Diploma Programme is offered to students in the final two years of school. It is an internationally recognised and demanding programme that prepares students for university entrance.
The school caters to both the intellectual and personal growth of students. It has a wide range of facilities that include:
- laboratories for the sciences and information technology
- art and music rooms
- library and resource centre
- career counselling centre
- student and teacher lounges
- cafeteria and dining area.
The building is networked so that computers become common resources for teachers and students. The multipurpose hall can be used for a variety of events ranging from theatre productions to parent–teacher meetings. The school also has swimming facilities as well as playing fields for soccer, field hockey and athletics.
For further information about applying to any of the programmes offered at the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad, please refer to the admission requirements.
