Social-emotional learning helps students develop essential life skills that are necessary for their personal and academic success.

Service learning is an innovative educational approach that combines sustainable service with academic learning objectives. It is an immersive experience that allows students to apply their classroom knowledge to real-life situations, learn about the needs of their local community, and develop essential skills such as empathy, leadership, and teamwork. Kauthar Mohamed, Student Leadership and Service-Learning Coordinator tells us more about the Year 10 Service Learning demonstration.

To celebrate the importance of reading and to promote the culture of reading, we are proud to celebrate Book Month every year. During Book Month, the Academy organizes various events and activities that encourage reading. These events include book fairs, book swaps, reading challenges, book discussions, and author visits.

Junior School students at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa held a music and dance recital on 4 November under the Baobab tree in the Academy's amphitheatre.

During the month of September, the entire Junior School community was engaged in a range of activities to celebrate Literacy Month. All activities were aimed at encouraging students to spend more time reading and writing as a way of exploring the world, expressing their thoughts and most importantly having fun. Activities included dual-language inter-house spelling bees and read-aloud sessions.
