International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme

Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Nur-Sultan in November, 2015 received Middle Years Programme authorization. IB World Schools share a common philosophy, a commitment to continuous gaining of knowledge and a high level of international education. The school offers the MYP for students aged 12-16 from the 7th to the 10th grades. 

Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years programme (PYP), The Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Career-related Certificate). 

The core of learning in the Core Curriculum is the learner. This emphasises IB’s belief in the student’s holistic and spiritual development as an individual, as well as its belief in the value of independent learning. The Core School programme is designed to guide pupils in the search for awareness of their role in nature and society. The programme provides independent learning as preparation for study in the IB Diploma Programme provided by the school.
