Dear Parents!

The New Year introduces changes to all areas of life, including the life of our school. Throughout the past year, we have been searching for various directions for the development and transformation of our school.

You know that our priority is high quality education and an individual approach to each student. We strive to create an environment where every child can develop their talents and satiate their needs. Therefore, in 2024, we are introducing a new format for school management: we are dividing it into junior and senior schools. This process occurred almost naturally since different tasks and raising different generations require different approaches. Each school will have its own principals and its own administrative staff.

The spatial separation of schools will allow for a high-quality and a more individual approach to the preparation of each student. Mr. Bakhadir Rismetov will be the director of the senior school, and Mr. Daulet Niyazov will be the director of the junior school. I believe that both candidates possess sufficient experience and qualifications necessary to achieve their goals. They are the ones who will be able to create an environment in which our children will grow up harmoniously.

The job responsibilities of the principals will expand, which will allow them to solve new problems related to the development of the school and the students.

A new approach to management will enable primary school students to comfortably adapt to the new environment, and high school students will be able to focus on university application.

In senior school, we create a special, pre-university, working environment that will allow high school students to prepare for admission to one of the top-10 universities in the world, and at the moment this is one of our priorities. Brilliant graduates of the top-10 universities will return to their homeland and will be able to work for the benefit of our country!

I am convinced that teachers, not its walls, make a school. Therefore, we pay special attention to staff training. In the new year, we are launching Shoqan Academy, a forge of the new qualified teachers and managers. Shoqan Academy will be headed by Mr. Oleg Pak, a person with extensive managerial and teaching experience. In this way, we will be able to resolve issues related to the quality of our education and qualified personnel.

We are entering the new year 2024 with optimism and new plans. We are confident that this year will be successful for all of us: parents, teachers and our students!

Dear parents and students!

It is no secret that the modern world is developing at a tremendous speed. The development brings inevitable changes that pose new challenges to us every day. The education system, being an integral part of this world, must certainly respond to its demands. We all realize that the children who sit at the desk today will change the
world tomorrow with the knowledge, formed basically at school. In order to meet parents and students expectations today we are moving away from the classic static institution, which was the school concept 100 years ago, and laying the foundations of a new format.

School today is a flexible, dynamic educational platform, a body that needs to respond to all the changes and demands of the world around, which is closely linked to the modern digitalization processes of the mankind. We believe that digitalization will make it possible to completely abandon "conveyor" training, and to choose the optimal, individual, vector of professional development for each exposed person. In this regard, we developed a new idea: to build a school of a new, modern format, to create such an educational platform, which would have such stability and modernization reserve, allowing to retain its relevance in 30-40 years.

For the last half a year our project has stepped forward and I, on behalf of our team, would like to share some big news with you.

THE OPENING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SECOND BUILDING

The first significant event is the opening of the high school second building. Our task was to create such an educational complex where students could maximize their opportunities. The principle of individualized schedules, the internal layout of the building with many small rooms for individual studies, the implementation of Advanced Placement, AP history and AP art. All these decisions are made to keep on realizing our main goal: our school graduates should enter the best higher education institutions of the world, from the TOP 20 list.

JOINING THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT

The second, equally significant event for us was joining the UN Global Compact and becoming an official partner of MIT. These significant international achievements reaffirm the school's commitment to follow the principles of human rights, protecting the environment, promoting social justice, and fighting corruption. We believe these values are essential to creating a fairer and more sustainable world.

I am delighted that you are part of our team, and I hope that our future collaboration will help us achieve even better results.
