In 2000, His Late Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV initiated a programme to establish an integrated network of schools, the Aga Khan Academies. In 2003, the first Aga Khan Academy was established in the Kizingo area of Mombasa, Kenya, and the Mombasa campus is a state-of-the-art learning institution recognised as an International Baccalaureate World School, with Swahili-inspired architecture on an 18-acre site including a residential facility, a sports complex, classrooms and common areas. Residential programming began in April 2009, the Diploma Programme graduates in 2007 gained admission to top universities worldwide with scholarships, and the AKDN Academies network has since expanded to Hyderabad (2011), Maputo (2013) and Dhaka (2022) with partnerships across the IB, Aga Khan University and the University of Central Asia.
The students, faculty and parents of the Aga Khan Academy form a socially conscious community committed to the development of their communities, their nation and civil society in the world at large. They understand that knowledge is a lifelong process of inquiry that leads to intellectual and personal growth. The Meet Our School Community page offers spotlights on Alumni, Teachers and Parents, highlighting members of the Academy family who contribute to society. Spotlights on Alumni feature graduates who exemplify leadership and public service.
The Aga Khan Academy Mombasa is a day school in Mombasa, Kenya, with a residential programme on campus for students from elsewhere. It serves ages 6 to 18 and offers the International Baccalaureate framework across PYP, MYP and DP. English is the language of instruction, with a bilingual programme to develop Kiswahili and other national languages. Aga Khan Curricular Strands—Ethics, Pluralism, Cultures (with emphasis on Muslim civilisations), Governance and Civil Society, and Economics for Development—are woven across the curriculum to connect theory with local and global issues. The 18-acre campus features purpose-built classrooms, science and computer laboratories, a library, art and music rooms, and design and technology workshops, plus a multipurpose hall and The Commons dining and activity hub. Sports facilities include swimming and diving pools, fields for soccer and hockey, a gym, floodlit fields, and tennis courts. Residential life, in dorm-style housing, supports enrichment through Expression, Action and Citizenship and prepares students for post-secondary study.
