Is AQUILA an educational magazine

Yes, AQUILA is an exceptional educational resource—and much more. It encourages readers to explore subjects beyond their favourites, introducing fresh ideas that may not be covered in school. Our aim is to help children develop a well-rounded, multi-dimensional perspective on the world. AQUILA is fun, quirky, and thought-provoking, promoting critical thinking while broadening children’s interests and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.

I’m overseas, how do I order?

AQUILA posts to more than 100 countries worldwide, including America, Australia and New Zealand. The magazine will go direct to the child in any country. When the time comes for a renewal notice this will be sent to you, wherever you may live!

Who writes AQUILA?

Each issue of AQUILA is crafted by award-winning editor Freya Hardy, with every new topic bringing its own set of challenges. To meet these, we draw on a diverse range of voices from around the world. Our editorial team includes talented writers, scientists, subject specialists, teachers, and artists, all collaborating to create a balanced and engaging experience. Together, we weave a rich tapestry of words and imagery, ensuring that every edition is both informative and captivating.

How is AQUILA different to other kid's magazines?

AQUILA aims higher than other children’s publications. Topics are investigated in a multi-dimensional way, so science, culture, mystery and comedy side-by-side on our pages as we strive to encourage children to be open-minded as well as self-motivated. The content is enjoyed by both children and adults, so puzzle-solving is often an family affair — and as children mature they will often go back again to their old AQUILA magazines and enjoy them again at a whole new level, appreciating the articles from a more mature, enlightened perspective.
