The Aga Khan Academies aim toward this ideal, and the values they espouse are reflected in each school’s aspirations for its students.

 Students at an Academy pursue a well-balanced education combining intellectual inquiry, academic excellence, sporting and cultural activities, and a grounding in ethics and moral reasoning.

They are committed to rigour and self-discipline in their studies and subscribe to the principles of intellectual honesty in the preparation of their work.
