Last month, we celebrated the milestone of graduating over 1,000 Academies students. As such, this year’s graduating class symbolised the further realisation of His Highness’ vision of building an institution that is "a statement of great hope in the power of good education, and an investment in the development of the best minds who will enable future generations to take charge of their own destinies.” Read on to learn more about the work of the Academies and what defines an Aga Khan Academies Graduate.

His Highness the Aga Khan’s vision for the Academies has always emphasised the importance of students being able to travel between campuses to gain new cultural and educational experiences. The inaugural 3-month student exchange, held late last year, was a significant step towards realising this vision, as students exchanged between the Academies in Mombasa and Hyderabad for the first time. Read on as Elizabeth MacFarlane, Student Mobility Coordinator at the Academies, shares how we took this programme from vision to reality and how it will be expanding in the future.

Over the last few months several Academies staff have been recognised for their work through awards, honourable mentions and publications.
