Spectrum International School

Spectrum International School delivers the highest standard of education in Kazakhstan for local and foreign citizens. This is achieved in a friendly, family atmosphere that nurtures a community feeling where the emotional, physical, creative, and intellectual needs of all children are met within an international environment.

It has been prepared with the hope that it will become a valuable source of school news and timely information for students, parents, and all visitors. As a school, we aim to establish and maintain open lines of communication with the Parent Teacher Association, staff, and students and will endeavor to get the school involved in the community as much as the community will be involved with the school. It is my belief that positive and honest relationships build lifelong friendships, and this is the key to working with others, be it staff and students, parents and students, or parents and staff. This circle of communication will lead our students to success in academic, sporting, and social areas and give them a sense of ownership and a level of responsibility for their learning. A close relationship between home and school benefits our students, staff, and parent community. We encourage you to actively explore the website and contact us directly if you feel you require any additional information. Thank you for visiting us on the web. We look forward to greeting you at our school in the near future.

When Spectrum International School received CIS accreditation in 2011, it marked an important milestone in our journey towards educational excellence. This accreditation not only demonstrates the school's commitment to high standards, but also highlights our commitment to creating an inclusive and globally focused learning environment. To partner with CIS, our school underwent a rigorous assessment of the quality of the curriculum, teacher qualifications, school management and infrastructure.

Spectrum International School provides students with access to a diverse network of educational institutions around the world, fostering international dialog and collaboration through CIS. Our school enriches the learning experience of our students by exposing them to a vast array of perspectives and cultures. In addition, we strengthen our school's reputation, making it the preferred choice for both local and international students seeking a quality education. Our graduates also have the opportunity to receive grants from CIS member universities.

Spectrum International School's accreditation with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), received in 2017, is a testament to our continued commitment to academic excellence and student success. In addition to a rigorous evaluation process, NEASC accreditation serves as a catalyst for continuous improvement and innovation at our institution. Spectrum International School has access to a multitude of resources and expertise, allowing us to enhance the quality of education we provide to our students.

Spectrum International School provides an opportunity for families who seek an inclusive international educational experience. By adhering to NEASC standards, we ensure that our curriculum remains relevant and responsive to the needs of a rapidly changing world. Through participation in NEASC initiatives, and professional development opportunities, our educators are equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to inspire and motivate our students to reach their full potential.
