"Don't believe this is an International school for a second. Most expats go to the QSI school because it's the best...which is really saying something!. Only a tiny percentage of students are expats. It's really a private school for rich Kazakh families. They run the PYP and MYP programmes but the local staff lack international understanding. Their teaching methods are out of date and the school lacks adequate resources. Fees are paid directly to the board and it's obvious only a small proportion gets passed on for running the school. Thankfully our contract is over shortly and we can get our kids back into a school that values children and not just looking good to the outside world," explained one expat in Astana, Kazakhstan with kids at Miras Astana International School.
