Kazakhstan International School, Astana

KIS is more than academics, more than a school - we are a community with a strong vision & mission.

We are pleased to introduce you to Kazakhstan International School (KIS) - Astana. Eventually we plan to offer the IB Programme for Kindergarten through Grade 12 with a rich array of academics, arts, and athletics in a setting that inspires excellence and a love for learning. At the start, from August 2024, we will begin with Kindergarten through Grade 4 (PYP*).

Founded in 1998, KIS has made student-centered, inquiry-based learning a priority from the start. From our beginnings as the first Montessori based kindergarten in Almaty, Kazakhstan, we have consistently made decisions with a clear goal in mind: supporting quality student learning and social-emotional growth. With that goal in mind, KIS Astana will develop to become one of a select number of world schools to offer the full IB continuum: PYP (Reception Class to Grade 5), MYP (Grades 6-10) and DP (Grades 11-12).

At KIS, we are more than academics; we are a learning community of students, parents, teachers, and staff working together to create a school culture that ensures a world-class, international education.

Finding the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make.

KIS Astana is new, purpose built state-of-the-art school which will plan to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) program. IB is synonymous for excellence and quality and as we grow, we will join a community of over 5000 schools throughout the world.

Our school attracts families who desire a high-quality education that focuses on the whole child—not just the intellectual and physical, but the social and spiritual as well.

At KIS Astana, learning is about more than academics. We support your children to become caring, open-minded adults with the skills and qualities they need for life.

The International Baccalaureate programme, that we plan to use at KIS is academically rigorous. The IB is an educational programme for 3 to 18-year-olds created by educators to help develop skilled, thoughtful and socially aware young people. The IB Organization (IBO) is a non-profit organization, which is independent of governments, with IB World Schools in over 150 countries worldwide. Leading universities around the world seek IB students esteemed for their academic skills and personal organization required to succeed in their studies. IB students are prepared to engage with the wider world and contribute actively to society.
