The Aga Khan Academy is one of the leading schools in Kenya offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, and authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP). With over 1,000 students, it is a multi-cultural school with many nationalities and cultures represented at any given time.
The Academy strives to create a harmonious balance between academic demands, sporting and cultural activities and community life. Our students learn to be knowledgeable, open-minded thinkers, inquirers, principled, risk-takers, well-balanced and caring. They are prepared for life.
The School is a community of life-long learners of students, teachers and parents with the goal of developing an ethical, pluralistic global community with a social conscience. It develops homegrown leaders with ethical foundations based on spirituality, and desire and ability to create positive change in the world.
The three schools of the Aga Khan Academy Nairobi work together to develop the IB learner profile beginning with an inquiry-based approach in the Early Years PYP at the Nursery School, followed by the PYP at the Junior School for grades 1-5. Students continue in the Senior School, enrolling in the MYP for grades 6-10. Upon completion of the MYP, students enter the DP for their final two years of study in the Senior School.
Students participate in a strong co-curricular programme, which includes athletics, visual arts and performing arts such as music and drama. In the Senior School, students may also enrol in Film Studies. As a result, students are able to develop a broad engagement with the world as we seek to educate the whole child.
Students are also encouraged to develop ethically and spiritually and to strive to succeed. The Aga Khan Academy’s ethos nurtures principled individuals who display respect towards diverse cultures and beliefs, enabling them to become responsible and compassionate global citizens.
Facilities include well-equipped libraries for each school, ICT rooms with SMART-Boards, swimming pools, science laboratories, sports fields, art rooms and a drama and film studio.
The IB curriculum enables students to learn using an inter-disciplinary approach and to develop critical thinking, creativity and international-mindedness – identified by leading educators globally as some of the critical skills for the 21st Century.
