Haileybury Almaty

Haileybury Almaty opened in 2008, in association with Haileybury in the United Kingdom. This not-for-profit educational project was financed by the group of Kazakhstani businessmen. Haileybury Almaty offers a broad, liberal education in the best traditions of British independent schooling. Pupils are prepared for Advanced Levels (‘A levels’), which enable them to apply to and enter the best universities both abroad and in Kazakhstan.

At Haileybury Almaty, we encourage academic excellence and promote intellectual curiosity. We believe in the merits of an all-round education and as such all strands of our co-curricular provision is strong. Underpinning every child’s education at Haileybury is outstanding pastoral care.

Our pupils learn the value of community and service. They experience leadership and they learn to work as part of a team. A Haileybury education is open-minded and forward-looking but it also draws on our rich heritage. It is an education that provides our pupils with a moral compass; it prepares them for the very best universities and for life as successful global citizens.

Testimonial

Madina Mukhamedzhanova

The most valuable and pleasant thing for parents is when a child says that she likes going to school, enjoys getting an education, that everything is interesting to her, that she has learned a lot of new things, and even today during The Parents Day we met with teachers and each of them tries to focus on positive aspects, without going into criticizing. In other words, all teachers try to stay focused on what a child is good at, and this is also exciting for us, because the only thing we could do as parents is to find the strengths of our child and try to develop them. I truly believe that in this regard the school provides tremendous support, since it really advises and highlights the aspects where a child is doing a good job and is interested in.
