The curriculum of the Aga Khan Education Services’ School focuses on student-centred learning, using appropriate teaching and learning strategies such as group and cooperative learning.  The curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded individuals who are able to think for themselves, contribute to society and be responsible and engaged citizens of their country. 

The School offers a caring and nurturing educational environment which provides each student with opportunities to develop artistically, emotionally, intellectually, morally, physically and socially to his or her fullest potential.

Dedicated to an international level of excellence in education, the Academies offer a curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate.  To ensure access regardless of socio-economic status or other limiting factors, admission is merit-based and means-blind.  The Academies feature residential campuses with well-equipped classrooms for sciences, art and music, a library, a counselling facility and a workshop.  They have student and teacher lounges, a theatre, multipurpose hall, cafeteria and dining area. Facilities for sports include swimming pools, fields for athletics and a well-equipped gymnasium.

Each Academy incorporates a Professional Development Centre, which extends modern teaching and learning methods to government and other private schools.  The network of Academies will introduce a system of international student and teacher exchanges between Academies in different countries and with allied schools.  Also planned are new facilities for the Aga Khan School, which will offer Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) specialisations at the pre-tertiary level.  Other areas that may be explored include healthcare and nursing education, poverty alleviation, and investments in infrastructure and other sectors of high priority to the country.
