This year’s Academies graduates achieved record results on their IB Diploma exams. AKA, Mombasa saw its highest-ever average score, with one student achieving a very rare perfect mark! AKA, Hyderabad’s average also exceeded last year’s, and the two graduating classes were offered a combined sum of over $7.7 million in university scholarships.

Science has become year 6 student Eden Ngatata’s favourite subject, thanks to Educating Girls in Science, an Aga Khan Academy Mombasa outreach programme. In addition to developing girls’ skills and interest in the sciences, the programme is fostering their self-confidence and determination. “I’m aiming higher and higher so that the sky is the limit,” says Eden, “but I think for us girls, we have no limit.”
