At Abdul Kadir Molla International School (AKMIS), we believe that effective leadership is the driving force behind educational excellence and continuous school improvement.

We are proud to share that our Academic Leaders — Ms. Asnaha Farheen, Mr. Tarique Masood, and Mr. Mohammad Saiful Islam Bhuiyan — successfully participated in the Cambridge leadership workshop, “Leadership Beyond Administration: Crafting Schools of Excellence,” held in Dhaka on 14 May 2026 and facilitated by Dr. Amlan K. Saha.

The workshop focused on transformative leadership practices, strategic planning, school improvement, and fostering a culture of excellence that enhances teaching and learning. Through this valuable professional development opportunity, our Academic Leaders further strengthened their capacity to lead innovation, empower educators, and create meaningful learning experiences for all students.

At AKMIS, we are committed to developing visionary leaders who inspire growth, collaboration, and excellence across our school community.

Our Grade 5 learners had the privilege of participating in an engaging guest speaker session with Chowdhury Nafis Nusrat Asha, Assistant Teacher, Accounting at Abdul Kadir Molla International School (AKMIS), as part of their inquiry into Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12).

The session focused on the central idea: “Sustainable consumption and production systems influence economic development and environmental sustainability.”

Through thought-provoking discussions, real-life examples, and interactive activities, Ms. Asha helped learners explore the systems and processes involved in consumption and production, understand their impact on both the economy and the environment, and reflect on the importance of responsible resource use in reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Her ability to connect global issues with everyday experiences enriched our learners’ perspectives and encouraged them to think critically about the choices they make as responsible global citizens.

We are grateful to Ms. Asha for sharing her expertise, inspiring our learners, and supporting their inquiry journey as they prepare for their PYP Exhibition. Such meaningful learning experiences help our students develop a deeper understanding of sustainability and their role in creating a more responsible and sustainable future.

Exploring Science Through Inquiry and Discovery! 🔬

On 7 June 2026, our Grade 1 learners had an exciting opportunity to visit the school laboratory as part of their Unit of Inquiry, “Materials can be transformed into different forms to meet people’s needs.”

During the visit, learners observed a series of engaging scientific experiments that brought their classroom learning to life. The hands-on demonstrations sparked curiosity, encouraged inquiry, and helped our young learners develop a deeper understanding of how materials can change and be used in different ways to meet human needs.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Md. Ariful Islam, Mr. Abdullah Al Amin, and Ms. Lutfa Khatun for conducting such an inspiring and interactive learning experience. Their dedication and expertise created a meaningful opportunity for learners to explore scientific concepts through observation and discussion.

At AKMIS, we believe that every learner matters. We nurture curiosity, inspire exploration, and provide authentic learning experiences that encourage learners to grow, think critically, and make meaningful connections with the world around them.

This enriching experience empowered our learners to become inquisitive thinkers, active explorers, and reflective learners. By engaging with real-life scientific observations, they strengthened their understanding, asked thoughtful questions, and developed the skills and attitudes needed to become lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.

Did you know that the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed to nurture the whole child while inspiring a lifelong love of learning?

At Abdul Kadir Molla International School (AKMIS), our PYP learners engage in meaningful, inquiry-based experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, reflection, and action. Rather than learning subjects in isolation, students explore significant concepts and real-world issues through transdisciplinary learning, making connections across disciplines and developing a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The PYP is guided by six transdisciplinary themes:

• Who We Are
• Where We Are in Place and Time
• How We Express Ourselves
• How the World Works
• How We Organize Ourselves
• Sharing the Planet

Through these themes, learners develop essential knowledge, conceptual understanding, Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, and the confidence to take meaningful action in their communities.

As an IB World School, AKMIS is committed to providing a high-quality, internationally recognized education that empowers students to become knowledgeable, caring, and responsible global citizens.

Together, we nurture curious minds, compassionate hearts, and confident learners ready to shape a better future.

We were privileged to host Mr. Hasnat Mohiuddin as a guest speaker of Grade-5 for an engaging session on SDG Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

During the session, he shared valuable insights into sustainable urban planning and highlighted the important roles that both individuals and communities play in creating cities that are inclusive, safe, resilient, and environmentally responsible. Learners explored how thoughtful planning, responsible resource use, and active citizen participation can contribute to building sustainable communities for future generations.

The interactive discussion encouraged learners to think critically about the challenges faced by modern cities and inspired them to become responsible global citizens who can contribute positively to their communities.
We sincerely thank Mr. Hasnat Mohiuddin for sharing his expertise and inspiring our learners to envision and work towards a more sustainable future.

On 2nd June 2026, our Grade 5 IB learners had the privilege of participating in an engaging and thought-provoking guest speaker session as a part of their PYP Exhibition, facilitated by Mr. Shivansh Ahuja, Founder of City One Initiative .

As our learners inquire into SDG 4: Quality Education, Mr. Shivansh guided them through meaningful discussions on the importance of inclusive and equitable education, safe learning environments, responsible global citizenship, and the power of education to transform lives. Through interactive activities, reflective questions, and real-world examples, learners explored how quality education can create positive change in communities around the world.

The session encouraged learners to think critically about barriers to education locally and globally, reflect on their role as global citizens, and identify meaningful actions they can take to contribute towards achieving SDG 4. It was wonderful to witness our students actively engaging, sharing perspectives, and deepening their understanding of how inquiry can lead to action.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Shivansh Ahuja for sharing his expertise, experiences, and passion for education with our learners. His insights have undoubtedly inspired our students as they continue their PYP Exhibition journey and strive to make a difference in the world.

What does meaningful learning look like in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)?

At the heart of the PYP is Agency—the belief that learners are active participants in their own learning journey. Agency is nurtured through three interconnected elements: Voice, Choice, and Ownership.

When learners have opportunities to express their ideas, make informed choices, and take responsibility for their learning, they become more engaged, confident, and motivated to take meaningful action.

The PYP learning community is built upon a dynamic partnership between:

• The Learner – developing curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
• Learning & Teaching – creating engaging, inquiry-driven experiences that inspire understanding and action.
• The Learning Community – fostering collaboration among students, teachers, families, and the wider community.

Together, these elements create a trusted, transformational, and future-focused learning environment where every child is empowered to thrive.

At Abdul Kadir Molla International School (AKMIS), we embrace the IB philosophy of learner agency, ensuring that our students are not only prepared for the future but are empowered to help shape it.

At Abdul Kadir Molla International School (AKMIS), we place a high value on collaboration, professional learning, and the sharing of best practices. We believe that when educators learn from one another, they strengthen not only their own professional practice but also the learning experiences of the students they serve.

Our PYP team recently had the privilege of participating in the PYP Job-Alike Session 2026, hosted by Aga Khan Academy Dhaka under the theme “Connecting Minds, Cultivating Practice.” The event brought together educators from IB World Schools across Bangladesh, providing a valuable platform for professional dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of innovative practices that continue to strengthen teaching and learning within the Primary Years Programme.

A total of 25 educators from AKMIS participated in the event, engaging in meaningful discussions, collaborative learning experiences, and reflective conversations with fellow IB practitioners. Such opportunities reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement and educational excellence.

We were particularly proud to contribute to the professional learning of the wider PYP community through two sessions facilitated by members of the AKMIS team:

The Power of Assessment for Learning – facilitated by Ms. Asnaha Farheen, exploring how assessment can be intentionally used to support teaching, enhance student agency, and improve learning outcomes.

Inquiry in Action: Inductive Approaches for Student-Led PYP Exhibition – facilitated by Ms. Fahmida Khan, Ms. Umme Mahbuba, and Mr. Faisal Amin Rabbi, focusing on empowering students to take ownership of their inquiry journeys.

A special highlight of the event was the unveiling of the IB PYP Coordinators’ Network Bangladesh logo and mission by Ms. Asnaha Farheen, Network Chair of the IB PYP Coordinators’ Network Bangladesh. During her address, she congratulated Aga Khan Academy Dhaka for its leadership in bringing together the PYP community and creating a meaningful space for educators to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Aga Khan Academy Dhaka team for organizing such a successful and impactful event. Together, we continue to strengthen the PYP community in Bangladesh and advance our shared commitment to high-quality, inquiry-based education.
