About us

A school built around how students actually learn

Founded in 2014, our campus sits in the centre of Bishkek, a few steps from Ala-Too Square. In a decade we have grown from 90 to 480 students across twenty-four nationalities — without ever losing sight of the individual child in front of us.

Three things we refuse to compromise on

First, language. Students study in English and learn to think, argue and present in English. That is not a subject here — it is the medium of the school.

Second, rigour. The Cambridge framework gives our students a recognised, portable qualification: from Bishkek to universities in the UK, Europe, North America and Asia, the same programme is followed.

Third, curiosity. Our IT programme is not a club that students join after school — robotics, programming and design thinking are part of the timetable from Year 1. And personal development is taught, assessed and discussed, not left to chance.

  • Small class sizes, target 18–20 students per group
  • Fully accredited Cambridge pathway, externally examined
  • Robotics and computer science laboratories on site
  • University and career guidance from Year 9 onwards
  • Counselling, safeguarding and wellbeing support
  • Modern library, science labs, gym and creative studios
Programmes

The full Cambridge pathway, plus what we add

Students enter at age five and leave at eighteen with a qualification they can take anywhere — and with skills that travel with them.

Ages 5–11

Cambridge Primary

A six-year stage built on curiosity rather than coverage. Children learn through inquiry units, develop English fluency from the start, and meet robotics and digital making as a natural part of the curriculum.

  • Stage-specific English and mathematics
  • Robotics and coding from Year 1
  • Project-based interdisciplinary units
  • Daily personal development sessions
Ages 11–16

Cambridge Secondary
IGCSE

The core academic stage. A broad, balanced subject block with a choice of Computer Science and Computer Science in place of a third language, supported by a dedicated STEM programme.

  • Full IGCSE subject range
  • Computer Science as a full examination subject
  • Weekly robotics and engineering workshops
  • Career guidance and university preparation
Ages 16–18

Cambridge A Level

Students specialise in three or four subjects, typically combining Computer Science, Mathematics or Economics with the humanities and sciences. Independent study is taught explicitly, not assumed.

  • Three to four A Level subjects
  • Individual mentorship and study planning
  • University research and application support
  • Leadership and community project

IT & Engineering

Robotics kits, programming labs and design thinking run through the whole school. Students build, break, test and rebuild — and learn that failing early is how the good work starts.

Arduino & robotics · Python & web · App development · CAD & 3D printing · Drone and sensor projects

Personal Development

A dedicated strand of the timetable: self-awareness, emotional regulation, collaboration, resilience and ethics. Students also run their own clubs, events and community projects.

Social & emotional learning · Student council · Leadership academy · Debate & public speaking · Sports & wellbeing
