Aquila (UK) magazine subscription

From the publisher

The best children's magazine for brilliant minds. AQUILA is the perfect read for curious children aged 8-14. Intelligent, thought-provoking articles, original fiction, mind-boggling puzzles and creative activities combine to keep inquisitive minds busy.

Ideal for the whole family. AQUILA aims higher than other children's publications. Monthly topics are investigated in a multi-dimensional way, so science, culture, mystery and comedy may appear 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 a 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.

Is AQUILA an educational magazine? AQUILA is indeed a superb learning extension, but it is much more than that. Entertaining, eccentric and always surprising, it aims to widen children's interest and encourage critical thinking. AQUILA is not about hot-housing bright children to pass exams: nor do we want children to concentrate exclusively on their favourite subjects. Instead they can gather information from many different sources and become life-long multi-dimensional learners. AQUILA encourages a well-rounded understanding of the world in all its complexity, bringing to their attention topics and theories that children will not encounter at school.
