Olympiads are a well-established tradition here in Kazakhstan, especially in Mathematics and Science. We want to offer students the opportunity to stretch their skills and experience, as well as to receive recognition for their abilities which will encourage them in their study and enjoyment of the English Language. Success in an olympiad can also be used to support students in their applications for local universities or apply for English Language examinations such as IELTS.
