The Aga Khan Academy Maputo is currently open for Nursery, Junior and Senior School students. We offer an education of an internationally recognised standard of excellence to prepare students to become intellectually curious, global-minded citizens of the world.The Academy programme develops students who are committed to positive change and are able to understand and analyse complex issues of local, national and global significance.

Our curriculum is built on the framework of the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB is a thorough, multidisciplinary curriculum that fosters:

• intellectual curiosity
• creativity
• leadership development
• social consciousness
• a pluralistic sensibility.  

The IB is also known for preparing students for admission to the best universities in their own countries and abroad.

Our focus is on developing students' critical thinking skills and the ability to analyse issues. We also emphasise multicultural understanding and awareness. One of the ways in which we help our students develop skills for ethical leadership is through the Aga Khan Curricular Strands. These are cross-disciplinary areas of study that have been developed for the network of Aga Khan Academies.

Overall educational programme

Our curriculum is complemented by co-curricular, athletic and community service initiatives. The overall educational programme is designed to educate well-rounded, civic-minded individuals. It enhances students’ academic excellence, leadership skills, sense of civic responsibility, understanding of global issues, and analytical and study skills. The programme also reinforces an understanding of local languages, history, cultures and environment.

After completing the full Academy programme, students will be expected to be computer literate and have a thorough understanding of the diverse academic disciplines covered in the IB curriculum. They should have mastered at least two languages, including English. Through the planned international exchange programme, our students will be able to enhance their foreign language learning and appreciation of other cultures. 

Our graduates thus will be well prepared for the rigours of higher education and to pursue opportunities in an increasingly interdependent world.

The Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad’s university counselling programme offers students a vast array of resources designed to help them find good matches between themselves and universities or colleges. These resources include a dynamic and well-resourced university counsellor, a wealth of printed, video and online tools, and a series of informational workshops and seminars on topics central to the university discovery process. Each year, we host university fairs at the Academy which are attended by universities from around the world, giving our students exposure to a wealth of options from which to choose.

Our counsellor engages students in individual conferences that are designed to help students reach a greater awareness of who they are. Armed with the well-articulated sense of self, students are prepared to find universities or colleges that are the best fit. Ours is a student-centred approach, and we believe that the likelihood of satisfaction with their choices is enhanced when students are empowered to 'own' the process. Also key to success is good communication among all parties: students, parents and university counsellors. While outcomes are important, it is the process of self-discovery and university-discovery on which our programme focuses.
