Enrolment Information
Entry to the Aga Khan Academy is offered regardless of background. Admission is competitive, and based on merit.

Admission to the IGCSE. Course
Each September, the Academy admits about 60 students. Students apply from Junior school in Grade 6. Places may be available for Grade 7 leavers. Exceptionally able students may be granted promotion to the next higher class. Students from Aga Khan Schools receive priority. It is expected that Grade 6 applicants are 11-12 years old.

Transfer from Other Schools
If admission is requested to a higher class on transfer from another secondary school, the same procedures apply. Arrangements are made individually if a place is available.

The School places students at the most appropriate level upon evaluation of the requested transfer and matching subjects. Special consideration is given to subjects where coursework is required.

Admission to the I.B. Course
Admission to the I.B. Course begins each September and is usually based on school reports and recommendations. Interviews are conducted in March or after O-Level results are released in August. Students require at least 6 credits (C grade or better) and A or B' in Higher Level subjects pursued.

Conditional Admission
In marginal cases, a student may be offered conditional (probationary) admission, where evidence of the ability to benefit from the Academy programme is carefully monitored.

Admission Test
An entrance test is held in mid-May for all applicants except those from the Aga Khan Junior Academy, whose admission requires a recommendation. This test consists of papers in Mathematics, English and Science and considers previous school reports. In some cases interviews are conducted.

A number of places are also offered annually in January, usually for Grade 8 (K.C.P.E.) leavers.
