The academic programme of the Aga Khan Academies is both comprehensive and rigorous. It encompasses formal academics as well as global themes that are designed to give students the skills to lead in their fields locally and globally.
The curriculum is based on the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB). The Academies offer the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. The Aga Khan Academies in Maputo and Dhaka also offer an Early Years Programme for children aged three to five years.
The academic curriculum is designed to ensure that students' theoretical learning is linked to relevant local and international issues through the focus on the Aga Khan Curricular Strands. Students develop their understanding of the world alongside analytical skills, an ability to learn independently and the desire to make a difference. The Aga Khan Academies dual-language programme includes instruction in both English and a national language, with the aim for all students to become bilingual.

As the network of Aga Khan Academies grows, senior students and teachers are participating in exchanges between the schools, providing practical experience of immersion in different cultural and linguistic contexts. Students develop competence with technology as well as the ability to explore how technology is shaping communities.
Through an active and student-centred approach, the Academies’ academic programme prepares students with the skills and abilities to pursue a competitive, high-quality post-secondary education. They become thoughtful, curious, ethical and community-oriented leaders who are prepared to take on the challenges of a complex and interdependent world.
