Why does AOA focus on math and science skills?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields are key to Africa’s future. AOA equips students with deep technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, preparing them for careers that can drive innovation and economic growth on the continent.

What does a "Pan-African" curriculum mean?

AOA integrates African history, culture, and problem-solving approaches into its curriculum while maintaining international academic standards. It prepares students for global opportunities while staying rooted in African perspectives.

How is AOA accredited?

The school has already been accredited to operate in Rwanda through NESA. View our accreditation letter here. We are also currently working to secure international accreditation from Cambridge International Education to ensure that AOA graduates have globally recognised qualifications. Students will sit A-Level exams and graduate with a recognised high school certification.
