Welcome from the Headmaster
A Haileybury education offers a world of opportunity for talented children aged 4-18 who wish to embrace the challenge of pursuing academic excellence, gain fulfilment through participation in our broad range of co-curricular activities in keeping with the best traditions of British independent school education.
Haileybury Almaty is a non-profit organisation in Kazakhstan that was created with the financial support of local businessmen whose goal was to make a positive impact on the community. All proceeds are invested in educational programmes and infrastructure, ensuring that pupils have the best possible learning environment.
Haileybury Almaty is an academically selective institution and currently accepts from 20% to 40% of applicants for entrance exams. We expect and assist our pupils to achieve excellent examination results at IGCSE and A Levels.
University Counselling and advice service: “World’s TOP universities” supports pupils throughout the applications process and helps Haileybury Almaty graduates to secure admissions to top universities worldwide, including prestigious institutions like Harvard, MIT, Yale University, Columbia University, Brown University, Oxford, Cambridge, Berkeley, Imperial College London and others to study a wide range of courses. Various extracurricular activities and projects help pupils to stand out among other applicants and receive full and partial scholarships for their academic excellence.
At Haileybury Almaty, we believe in the power of education to not only shape young minds but also celebrate and preserve our rich Kazakh heritage. With a strong emphasis on the Kazakh language and culture, we take pride in enriching our pupils' understanding of their roots while nurturing their academic excellence.
Participation in co-curricular activities stretches the pupils; it promotes a sense of social responsibility, enhances team spirit, engenders confidence and develops strong values to guide them in an increasingly complex world. A Haileybury education is built on outstanding pastoral care. A nurturing environment underpins all of our endeavours and helps shape the distinctive characteristics of Haileyburians.
We provide a holistic education that balances academic achievement with the development of character, resilience and leadership.
Haileybury Almaty offers scholarship opportunities to talented pupils to join Year 9 and Year 12 to experience british education in Almaty. Graduates receive scholarships from universities, affirming the school's high-level preparation and appeal to top higher education institutions worldwide.
Haileybury Almaty also demonstrates selectivity in recruiting teachers. We strive to attract highly qualified and experienced educators who possess not only academic knowledge but also a passion for teaching and nurturing the younger generation. Our teachers undergo a rigorous selection process based on high standards to ensure our students receive intellectual and inspiring education. We believe that quality education is achieved through a combination of exceptional teachers, students, and an educational environment where each participant is actively engaged in the learning process.
The school is very proud of our close links with Haileybury UK and Haileybury Astana with whom we share both their traditions and values, whilst we value close links with our local comumunity in Almaty. We seek to develop young people that are ready to be global citizens and leaders within their communities in the future.
Our goal is for our young women and men to leave Haileybury fully equipped with the life skills and the academic credentials necessary for them to flourish in a competitive global employment market. We work with our families to ensure that our pupils leave the school fulfilled, proud of their achievements and full of compassion for others.
We look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant and diverse school community at Haileybury Almaty.
