Welcome to Saturday STEAM School, a dynamic weekend programme at Haileybury Almaty designed to ignite curiosity and boost skills in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Held every Saturday during the term, this program is open to pupils from Year 1 through Year 13 who are eager to challenge themselves beyond the regular curriculum. It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to explore new interests, deepen their knowledge, and have fun with learning in a supportive environment.
Under the guidance of our expert teachers, pupils delve into exciting topics ranging from advanced mathematics to hands-on robotics. The atmosphere is informative, inspiring, and approachable – we encourage asking questions, creative thinking, and teamwork at every step. Whether you’re a pupil ready to dive deeper into your favourite subjects or a parent looking to enrich your child’s education, the Saturday STEAM School offers an ideal space to learn, explore, and unlock each child’s potential.
Our Olympiad Mathematics courses, led by experienced instructors Mr. Kuanysh for Senior School and Ms. Akmaral for Junior School, introduce students to the thrill of competitive problem-solving. At the Junior level (Years 3–6), pupils tackle fun Olympiad-style puzzles that nurture intuition, attention to detail, and creative thinking. At the Senior level (Years 7–11), students dive deeper into advanced challenges, honing their logical reasoning and analytical skills as they prepare for national and international math Olympiads. These sessions make math exciting and enriching, helping young mathematicians build confidence and think outside the box.
This exam-focused mathematics course, led by Mr. Almas, prepares pupils to excel in their A-Level, IGCSE, and SAT exams. Students practice solving typical exam questions and learn effective strategies for time management and problem-solving. The program strengthens core skills and builds the academic confidence required for success in high-stakes tests. It’s an excellent opportunity for senior pupils to boost their grades and lay a solid foundation for future university admissions, all in a supportive setting that makes exam prep approachable and clear.
In our Robotics courses, led by Ms. Araylym and Mr. Ramazan, pupils get hands-on with technology and learn to think like young engineers. For Years 1–2, we use the friendly VEX 123 robots to introduce the basics of coding and problem-solving through play – imagine storytelling with robots and fun programming games! For Years 3–6, the focus shifts to First Lego League (FLL) challenges. Students will design, build, and program LEGO robots to tackle real-world inspired missions, preparing for FLL competitions in a team-based, exciting environment. Through these fun, interactive sessions, children build creativity, teamwork, and practical problem-solving skills while exploring the amazing world of robotics.
