In 2000, His Highness the Aga Khan initiated the establishment of an integrated network of schools, called Aga Khan Academies, dedicated to expanding access to education of an international standard of excellence. The Academies, which educate young men and women from pre-primary through higher secondary education, will be located primarily in Africa, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East.
The first Aga Khan Academy opened in Mombasa, Kenya in 2003. The second, in Hyderabad, India, began operating in 2011, and the third Aga Khan Academy opened in Maputo, Mozambique in 2013. A fourth Academy, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, opened in 2022.
