Aga Khan Higher Secondary School Gilgit

Aga Khan Higher Secondary School (AKHSS) Gilgit is operated by the Aga Khan Education Services Pakistan (AKESP) in Gilgit, the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan — Pakistan's spectacular northern mountain territory bordering China, Afghanistan, and India. Aga Khan Education Services has been the backbone of quality education in Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral for decades, transforming one of Pakistan's most remote and challenging regions into an area with among the highest literacy rates in the country. AKHSS Gilgit offers Cambridge International O-Level and A-Level programmes as well as national Matric/FSc for students from Early Years through Intermediate level. The school benefits from the Aga Khan Development Network's comprehensive educational support, teacher training, and infrastructure investment. Despite its remote mountain location, AKHSS Gilgit maintains strong academic standards and produces graduates who gain entry to Pakistan's top universities, including Aga Khan University. The school plays a transformative role in the educational development of one of Pakistan's most scenically stunning but historically isolated regions. AKESP's work in GB is internationally recognised as a model for quality education in remote mountain communities.
