The School is part of several
unique partnerships and associations that have been
formed with leading academic institutions, including
institutions in North America, Europe, Africa and
Asia. These partnerships contribute to the quality
of the curriculum and to the professional development
programmes. They also ensure that the School maintains
and enhances its standing.
Of particular note is the International Academic
Partnership (IAP), which includes Phillips Academy
in the United States, the Schule Schloss Salem in
Germany, the Aga Khan University’s Institute
for Educational Development in Pakistan and Aga
Khan Education Services schools in a number of countries.
IAP’s objectives are to promote global education
and student-centred teaching, with a particular
focus on professional development for teachers and
curricular innovation.

Since its founding in 1993, the IAP has linked over
400 schools in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Pakistan,
Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States.
Sixty-four Phillips Academy faculty and 500 AKES
teachers have been involved in the programme. In
addition, teachers from school districts in United
States are participating in the programme through
an affiliation with the University of Texas at Austin.
Programmes include Islamic Cultural Studies, a multidisciplinary
curriculum for the study of Islam and Muslim civilisations
in a non-doctrinal, comparative and historical context.
Another course is Global Economics, which aims to
develop skills in this field by drawing on examples
from the international economy.
Professional Development Teacher workshops facilitated
by Phillips Academy, AKU-IED and AKES offer up to
three weeks of full-time study in content and pedagogy
for teachers in AKES, government and community schools.
New initiatives include workshops on teaching about
HIV/AIDS, integration of technology into the classroom
and the teaching of English through theatre arts.
