Having partnered with SABIS® to operate the first K-12 SABIS® International School in Kazakhstan, Emirates Kazakhstan Education Investment Group signed an agreement on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, with Yntymaq Corporation to commence construction of the school campus. The agreement was signed in the presence of representatives from Astana Municipality (the Office of His Excellency the Mayor of Astana), JSC “NC” Kazakh Invest, the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Astana, and local consultant SPNEFT.
Set to start operating during the 2024-25 academic year, SABIS® International School – Astana (SIS-Astana) will be located on a 75,000+-square-meter plot in a central location in the city and will have a capacity to accommodate over 3,000 students. The campus will feature state-of-the-art facilities that include an independent Kindergarten section, library, theater, indoor semi-Olympic swimming pool, fully-equipped gymnasium, basketball court, modern classrooms, computer and science laboratories.
“SIS-Astana will be joining many other SABIS® schools globally that are dedicated to giving students the solid foundation of knowledge and 21st century skills they will need to navigate and achieve success in our ever-changing world,” commented SABIS® Vice-President Victor Saad. “We are very optimistic about this new venture that will allow us to offer the students of Kazakhstan an education dedicated to unlocking their full potential.”
As a member of the SABIS® Network, SIS-Astana will offer the same rigorous program to local and international students in Kazakhstan. Moreover, the school will be trilingual: in addition to English (being the main language of instruction), students will also benefit from learning both the Kazakh and Russian languages.
