Overview
Staff at Aga Khan Junior Academy, Nairobi, are chosen on the basis of quality. All must have at least a Bachelor’s degree and five years of experience in interactive teaching environments. They are also expected to have experience in multicultural environments and actively to promote, through practice and personal example, an appreciation and understanding for other cultures, religions and traditions.

A programme of international teacher exchanges and year-abroad programmes between Academies in different countries, as well as with partner institutions, will play an important role in the professional development of teachers while fostering cross-cultural understanding. Please see the “International Exchanges” section for more information.

Professional Development of Teachers
Each faculty member can draw upon a broad programme of professional development courses, including early childhood development, general pedagogical skills, interactive learning techniques and student-centred teaching methods.
