The School has a purpose built building that is situated in the newly erected part of the city and offers its students excellent modern facilities for learning and recreation. The curriculum in Primary and Secondary follows Cambridge International Programmes including Cambridge Primary, Secondary 1 & 2, and Advanced Level. The curriculum is also enriched with very few local subjects such as Kazakh language, History & Geography of Kazakhstan to meet the needs of our local students.
