About Us
The Sultan Mohamed Shah Aga Khan School also encourages students to respect and appreciate other people’s cultures, social structures, values and beliefs.
The Educational Approach
The Sultan Mohamed Shah Aga Khan School strives to create a harmonious balance between academic demands, sporting and cultural activities and community life. It challenges its pupils to be intellectually inquisitive and socially conscious. The School believes that while what students know is important, the true measure of a student’s education is the ability to analyse what they do not know.
Developing critical thinking and analysis is therefore at the core of the School’s mission. The School also encourages students to respect and appreciate other people’s cultures, social structures, values and beliefs. Taken together, these objectives are designed to help equip children with the tools they will need to make their way in school, society and an increasingly interdependent world.
School History
The School proudly bears the prestigious name of the Aga Khan. The foundations of the present education system were laid by Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah Aga Khan III, who established over 200 schools during the 20th century, the first in 1905 in Zanzibar and Gwadar followed by schools in Dar es Salaam in 1906 and in Mundra, in India, in 1907.
The Aga Khan Education Service currently operates more than 300 schools and advanced educational programmes that provide quality pre-school, primary, secondary and higher secondary education in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic, Madagascar and Mozambique.
School Population
The School has a student population of 3086. English is the medium of instruction and the School teaches:
- Early Chidhood Education and Development (ECED): ECED I to ECED IV (Classes Prep 1 to Class II)
- Junior Section Classes III to VII
- Senior Section Classes VIII to X
Parent Teacher Meetings
Every semester, the School faculty keep parents posted of their child’s school performance. Class teachers update parents of their child’s discipline, attendance and school participation. The School functions in a friendly environment that supports and encourages an on-going partnership between the School, parents and management.
The School regularly seeks parental co-operation and assistance during Parent-Teacher Meetings promoting a closer relationship between home and the school. Parents assist by:
- reviewing the School’s progress through Parent Teacher Meetings (PTMs)
- effectively communicating with the School
- supporting the school’s various activities and initiatives e.g. organising social events for students.
The School’s orientation programmes give parents and students an opportunity to interact, give feedback and exchange ideas with School management. We encourage parents to be involved in the social and emotional development of their child. Our focus lies in developing parents as critical partners, actively contributing to the School’s effectiveness.
