A great school,
"will educate its students not merely to be personally successful but also to use their gifts to build their communities and enhance the common good to levels beyond our dreams."

Approach

The Aga Khan Schools strive 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 peoples’ 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. The core principles that guide the Aga Khan Education Services in this pursuit are:

  • the continuing pursuit of excellence in educational practice and management in diverse and challenging settings;
  • child-centred teaching methods;
  • a special emphasis on female education; and
  • school-based teacher training.


Objectives

The school's objectives are:

  • to prepare graduates for access to universities in the Kyrgyz Republic, in the Commonwealth of Independent States and elsewhere in the world;
  • to prepare students for the challenges of a global economy and the information age;
  • to become a centre of excellence that shares its successes and failures with the community.


School Population

In the academic year 2008-2009, approximately 497 students enrolled in the co-educational school.
