International Schools in Baku, Azerbaijan

Baku’s international-school sector mixes English-medium IB, British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-Level) and American-style programmes alongside bilingual schools that teach the Azerbaijani or Russian national curriculum with added international options. Many schools use English as their main language of instruction but offer Azerbaijani, Russian and other language classes; some smaller schools also run Turkish or French streams. Published annual tuition varies widely - commonly from a few thousand to the mid-teens of thousands of Azerbaijani manat for many grades, with a small number of schools publishing substantially higher fees for senior years - and additional charges for registration, transport, uniforms and exam entries are routine. Admissions are handled year-round at most schools but families aiming for the new academic year are usually advised to apply in the spring; note that public schools in Azerbaijan mark the official “Knowledge Day” on 15 September while individual international schools set their own term dates and often open in August or early September.
