Miras International School
2

US$7K – US$19K/yr

Miras International School

Ages 3-18 · IB, IB PYP, IB MYP, IB DP · Bostandyk · ~546 students

IB programmes: PYP, MYP, DPAccreditation: CIS, NEASC

Miras is the right school if IB continuity from age three through to the Diploma matters, and you want that in a school where your child will be in genuine multilingual company rather than a mostly Kazakhstani cohort. The fees are lower than KIS and the campus larger, but the administration is worth probing before you commit.

High Tech Academy
2

US$12K – US$18K/yr

High Tech Academy

Ages 4-18 · American, Finnish, Minerva Baccalaureate · Medeu · ~550 students

Accreditation: CIS (2022), ARQA (2023)High school programme: Minerva Baccalaureate (Grades 10-12)

HTA suits families who want their child in an English-medium school with a genuine educational philosophy behind it - project-based, inquiry-led, no uniforms, no rote learning. It is not the right fit if your child is moving up for A-Levels or needs IB for a specific university pathway; the Minerva Baccalaureate is credible but newer than IB or Cambridge.

US$11K – US$15K/yr

Tamos Education Cambridge International School

Ages 3-18 · British, IGCSE, A-Levels, AP · Bostandyk · ~3,000+ students

Accreditation: CIS member (since 2023)Programmes: Cambridge IGCSE, A-Levels, AP

Tamos Cambridge suits families who want a Cambridge pathway with trilingual grounding and don't need a standalone international school environment. The CIS accreditation is recent, fees are competitive, and the school's breadth of programmes - IGCSE, A-Levels, and AP - gives flexibility. Verify current Cambridge stream numbers before committing.

US$11K – US$13K/yr

Galaxy International School, Almaty

Ages 5-18 · British, IGCSE, A-Levels · Bostandyk · ~415 students

Accreditation: COBIS, CIS memberCheckpoint results: Above international average in Mathematics and English

Galaxy is worth considering if you want a Cambridge school with smaller fees than Haileybury and a less pressured environment. It is a working school rather than a prestige brand, so go in with open eyes - ask about teacher continuity and A-Level cohort sizes before committing.

US$5K – US$12K/yr

Tien Shan International School

Ages 5-18 · American, AP, SAT · Other Almaty · ~150 students

Accreditation: CIS, ASICLeaving qualifications: Advanced Academic Diploma, General Academic Diploma

Tien Shan suits a specific family: internationally mobile, values-oriented, comfortable with a small community and a semi-rural location south of the city, and not needing IB or A-Levels for the university pathway. If you are on a US government or mission posting, or if very small classes and a family school feel matter more than brand prestige, it is worth a visit.

US$10K – US$11K/yr

New Generation School (NGS)

Ages 5-17 · Kazakh National, IELTS · Bostandyk · Contact school students

IELTS partnership: KIMEP University (Grade 10)Rating: 4.3 on 2GIS (571 reviews)

NGS suits Russian-speaking families who want a rigorous, structured private school with small classes and serious academic expectations - not a Western curriculum school. The fees at KZT 4,950,000 are mid-market for Almaty but above Shoqan and ISA; the entrance fee of KZT 500,000 is non-refundable and payable upfront, so budget accordingly.

Updated April 2026

US$7K – US$8.5K/yr

Shoqan School

Ages 6-17 · Kazakh National · Medeu · 1,300+ students

University destinations (2025): Harvard, UC BerkeleyRating: 4.4 on 2GIS (791 reviews)

Shoqan is for locally-based families - Kazakhstani or long-term residents - who want a genuinely high-quality Kazakhstani education with serious university ambitions, not a Western curriculum. It is not an international school, and families needing IB, IGCSE, or AP for a future international move should look elsewhere.

Updated April 2026

US$6K – US$7K/yr

International School of Almaty (ISA)

Ages 5-16 · IB PYP, IB MYP, Kazakh National · Other Almaty · Contact school students

IB programmes: PYP and MYP (IB school ID 001828)Dual qualification: IB MYP certificate + Kazakhstan national diploma

ISA makes sense if you want IB from primary through to Grade 10 and need fees well below KIS or Miras. The dual qualification - IB MYP certificate alongside the Kazakhstani national diploma - is a genuine differentiator for families who may stay in Kazakhstan long-term. Bear in mind it stops at Grade 10, so plan the senior school transfer from day one.

International College of Continuous Education

Ages 3-18 · IB PYP, IB MYP · Other Almaty · ~324 students

IB programmes: PYP (Grades 1-4), MYP (Grades 5-10)Founded: 1993; IB authorised from 2003

ICCE is the school for families who want IB from primary upwards but don't need the Diploma, or who want their child to graduate with both an IB credential and Kazakhstan's national Attestat. It is a small, long-established school with a warm community feel - but verify fees and current IB stream staffing directly before making a decision.
