The Aga Khan Education Services in Tanzania runs three schools, offering education from nursery to secondary levels.

Today, the Aga Khan Nursery and Primary School (AKNPS) offer IB-authorized Primary Years Program (PYP) from kindergarten 1 to Grade 6 (ages 3–12). The curriculum blends the IB-PYP framework with Tanzania’s national curriculum and local culture.

Facilities include sports, art, music, and ICT. Education is seen as a three-way partnership among students, teachers, and parents, aiming to develop responsible, compassionate, and globally aware citizens.
