CIS International School Tashkent

The school aims to empower students to become responsible, innovative, and open-minded global citizens. It promotes a culture of cooperation where students exchange ideas, develop leadership skills, and engage in projects that encourage critical thinking and self-awareness. The educational approach combines international and national traditions to foster both academic excellence and a strong connection to cultural roots.

The school offers a dual-programme curriculum that runs the International (Cambridge) and National (Russian) programmes in parallel. The academic stages include Early Years (ages 2.5-5) using the EYFS programme, Primary School (ages 5-11), Secondary School (ages 11-16), and Senior School (ages 16-18) which focuses on IGCSE and A-level qualifications. Instruction is provided by an international team of native-speaking teachers, ensuring full academic fluency in English.

Graduates receive a dual-programme education, earning both a national school-leaving certificate and international IGCSE and A-level qualifications. These credentials enable students to enter leading universities worldwide, with over 66% of graduates choosing to continue their studies abroad in countries including the UK, USA, Switzerland, and Italy. The school focuses on developing 21st-century skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity.

The school emphasizes individual attention for every student through small class groups. The admissions process includes assessments by school psychologists and, for younger children, speech and language specialists to help teachers design an optimal learning pathway for each student. Professional career guidance and admissions support are also provided to senior students to assist with university applications.

The admissions process begins with an assessment of the child's English and Mathematics proficiency to determine the appropriate year group. For children under 10, the process also includes a meeting with a school psychologist and a speech and language assessment. Following a successful assessment, parents complete application forms, pay an enrollment fee to reserve a seat, and submit required documentation, including birth certificates, medical records, and previous academic transcripts.

The school year is divided into five terms, typically running from September 1st to June 19th. The calendar includes scheduled breaks for winter, spring, and summer, as well as closures for official Russian Federation public holidays. Specific term dates and holiday periods are provided to families to ensure alignment with the academic schedule.
