Haileybury Almaty is the first British school in the CIS. It was opened in 2008 in partnership with Haileybury UK. Pupils are prepared for (I)GCSEs and A-Levels (‘A’levels’), which enable them to apply to and enter the best universities around the world. We prepare boys and girls from the ages of 4 to 18 for their first-choice university, and life as global citizens. The academic curriculum of Haileybury Almaty includes best practice from the British National Curriculum, the Primary Years Programme and international curricula to challenge each and every pupil. We provide a broad curriculum which includes English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Computing, and Personal Development taught by the class teacher. In addition pupils are taught by specialist teachers in P.E, Music, Art and Kazakh, and their first language. Our teachers are fully qualified: most were trained in the UK and have experience of teaching in UK schools. Most also have experience of teaching overseas. We are committed to safeguarding in our schools, and so all of our teachers and staff are checked to ensure they are safe to work with children. In the Upper School pupils are prepared for the (I)IGCSE examinations of Cambridge and other examination boards. In the Sixth Form pupils are prepared for examination at A-Level and with these qualifications can progress to leading universities. Career and University guidance is given to pupils as they progress through the school. Our experienced staff of local and expatriate teachers are dedicated to providing children with the opportunities they deserve with a view to ensure each and every one of our students is presented with the right tools to enable them to make the most of their post-Haileybury career. An education at Haileybury Almaty combines a traditional British Independent Education with the cultural and historical background of Kazakhstan to provide a truly international experience.
