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 is different about the school?

AOA integrates advanced STEM education with a holistic learning experience. Students engage in interdisciplinary projects, hands-on problem-solving, mentorship programs, and leadership development. The school also emphasizes a Pan-African perspective, fostering collaboration, cultural exchange, and harmony across the continent. Our custom curriculum is designed with an innovative approach that prepares our students for both international Olympiad competitions and higher education.

What accreditation will the school have?

The school is 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.

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 many students will the school have?

AOA will begin with a small, highly selective cohort of 30 students and gradually expand over the years. At full capacity, AOA will have a total of 90 students (30 students over 3 academic years), with an equal ratio of girls to boys.
