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 the Kazakh language, History & Geography of Kazakhstan to meet the needs of our local students. As part of external assessment, our students sit a set of Cambridge International examinations, namely Cambridge Primary and Secondary Checkpoints, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge International AS/A Levels.

We are an accredited member of the Council of International Schools (CIS), a registered center for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) as well as Cambridge Assessment English.
