Empowering Self-learning: A Parent’s Perspective on Student-Led Learning
“I deeply value the Academy’s student-led approach and how learning extends beyond the classroom into real life. I love that teachers step back, giving students ownership of their learning and actions. The hands-on curriculum has had a visible impact on my son – he started by growing plants and now grows his own fruits. It has also nurtured his empathy and curiosity, making him more observant and caring, even toward our pets at home.”
Nuras Jahanara Dewan, Parent, AKA Dhaka
Where Support, Opportunity and Care Go Hand in Hand
“I appreciate the excellent facilities and wide range of opportunities the school offers its students. The well-maintained environment reflects real care and commitment, and the teachers’ kindness and support, especially when students are struggling, makes a huge difference. I’m grateful for the nurturing atmosphere and hope the school continues to grow and improve for the benefit of the entire community.”

Language Throught Art
"I love my art class at AKA Dhaka. My teachers support me with being able to express my feelings throught art when words can’t. Working with colour and texture helps me explore my emotions while bringing calm and focus. Watching an idea grow from a blank canvas into something unique is deeply rewarding. Each project is a chance to take risks, try new ideas and create something beautiful. Sharing my work with others inspires me even more; art, to me, is both healing and empowering.”
