Miras International School, Almaty

Miras" International school was opened in 1999. It is the first school in Kazakhstan, which has been authorized by International Baccalaureate Organization and accredited by Council of International Schools. This status allows our graduates to have privilege when they enter Universities and colleges abroad, whereas IB DP graduates have the opportunity to be enrolled in best Universities all over the world without taking examinations. "Miras" School graduates receive internationally recognized documents about education (MYP Certificate or Record of Achievement after the G10 and IB Diploma after the G12). At the same time "Miras" school graduates receive State documents (Attestat and UNT Certificate) after the G11.

Teaching and learning in the MYP involves understanding concepts in context. Global contexts provide a common language for powerful contextual learning, identifying specific settings, events or circumstances that provide more concrete perspectives for teaching and learning.

The six MYP Global Contexts inspire explorations of our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet. They invite reflection on local, national and global communities, as well as the real-life issues and concerns of 10 to 16-year-old students. For each MYP unit, teachers should identify one global context that establishes a focus for meaningful teaching and learning in a program of international education. Over the course of their study, students should encounter all six global contexts, which are Identities and relationships, Orientation in time and space, Personal and cultural expression, Scientific and technical innovation, Globalization and sustainability, and Fairness and development.
