Bilingual students outperform monolinguals in creative thinking and problem solving
Coastweek — The Aga Khan Academy (AKA, M) is proud to introduce the first English and Kiswahili educational programme in Kenya.
This exciting dual language learning initiative will enhance the Junior School’s Primary Years Programme, providing its students with a stimulating education through which they will gain the advantages of bilingualism.
Emile Cioran, a Romanian philosopher once said, ‘We don’t live in a country; we live in a language.’
It will be through Kiswahili that AKA, M students will be able to access, appreciate and under-stand the richness of Kenyan culture that would be un-attainable without the language.
This is fundamental to the fulfilment of His Highness the Aga Khan’s vision for the Academy.
