Entry to the Aga Khan High School, Kampala is offered
on a competitive basis, regardless of background,
and based on merit.
Entry requirements
For entry to the Ugandan ‘O’ level (S1),
students should score 14 points or above in the
PLE (Primary Leaving Examination). For IGCSE, PLE
is not a requirement but prospective candidates
sit for an entrance test. For A-level and IB Diploma,
the student must have at least a Division Two in
UCE or 5 credits in IGCSE and credits (A, B, C grade)
in the chosen subjects for study. The Head of the
previous school must vouch for good conduct . Notable
achievement in non-academic activities is an advantage.
Admission to the UCE/UACE Courses
The academic year for local courses begins after
the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and the
Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE)
examination results are announced in February and
March respectively.
As soon as these results are released, parents should
request admission confirmation from the School.
Copies of the last two school report forms are required.
This does not apply to students enrolling from the
Aga Khan Primary School or UCE students from the
Aga Khan High School who wish to pursue the UACE.
Admission for them is granted based on Headmaster
recommendation.
Admission to the IGCSE Course
This course begins each September with
transfer from junior international schools at the
end of Grade 6, when pupils are expected to be about
11 years old. An Entrance Test is arranged in March.
It consists of papers in English, Science and Mathematics.
In some cases, interviews are conducted. A number
of places are also offered annually in January for
PLE candidates.
Admission to the IB Diploma Course
This course also begins each September,
normally following completion of IGCSE in May-June
of the same year.
Applications will be open from February of the year
concerned. Candidates may be given an offer based
on their ‘mock’ examination results,
though final IGCSE results will usually be considered.
All candidates are given an interview to ascertain
their awareness of the IB programme and suitability
for it.
Diploma students choose 3 subjects at Higher Level
and 3 at Standard Level.
Transfer from other Schools
Children transferring mid-course must provide
necessary information and may be required to sit
for an entrance test and/or interview. A recommendation
of good conduct and leaving certificate from the
previous school are necessary. Individual
arrangements are made to place the student in the
most appropriate class, if a place is available.
Application Forms
Application forms are available from the School
Office. The following documents must be attached
to the completed application form.
- Copy of Birth Certificate
- Two passport-sized photographs of the applicant.
- Copy of School Leaving Certificate from previous
school
- Copies of recent Progress Report Cards from
the previous class issued by the last school
attended.
Note: The originals of all forms and certificates
may be inspected.
Parents Guide
Upon successful admission to the School, the parent/guardian
must sign an Obligations form (addressing fee
payment, student withdrawal, absence from school
and conditions for promotion). There is also a
School Regulations form, signed by both the student
and parent/guardian, establishing expected student
conduct during the course of study. Note that
entry also requires the parent/guardian to be
physically present when the admission offer is
accepted.
The minimum promotional requirement is: Division
II in UCE, ‘D’ average in IGCSE, 7
points at A-level, and 24 points in the IB Diploma.
The maximum class size is 30, though often much
less, the overall student - teacher ratio being
about 11:1. This allows educators to effectively
monitor each student’s progress.
