redesigned its academic programmes in line
with the educational best practices of reputed
national and international colleges and universities.
The school curriculum is designed not only
to match the objectives of the national curriculum
but to enrich that curriculum with resource
material for teachers and reference material
for the students.
In keeping with the vision of the Aga
Khan schools, the School strives to
prepare students for the challenges of the
modern world by providing a broad education
that includes the introduction of new theories,
ideas and technologies.
