The academic programme at the Aga Khan Academies was developed following the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB), a world-class educational programme that emphasises rigorous, consistent schooling aligned to international standards.
The academic programme of the Aga Khan Academies is both comprehensive and rigorous. It encompasses formal academics as well as global themes (curriculum strands) that are designed to give students the skills to lead in their fields globally and locally.
The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is a group of non-denominational agencies that work to improve the living conditions and opportunities for the poor across the world.
In 2000, His Late Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV initiated the establishment of the Aga Khan Academies, an integrated network of schools dedicated to expanding access to the highest standard of education.
The outlook and educational perspectives of the Aga Khan Academies are based on the vision of His Late Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV. His vision looked to education of the highest quality that can prepare young people to lead and enact positive change in the world they inhabit.
