American-curriculum international schools in Kazakhstan most often follow a US-style K - 12 programme with a college-preparatory focus, commonly offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses and access to standardised tests such as the SAT/PSAT. Instruction is normally in English, but many schools also run parallel or integrated streams in Russian and Kazakh so students get substantial local-language tuition alongside English instruction. Fees vary widely by city and provider: smaller or hybrid international programmes can appear at lower annual cost, while established American-curriculum schools in Almaty and Nur-Sultan publish headline tuition figures that sit in the mid-to-high band compared with local schools. Admissions follow the Northern-Hemisphere school calendar with places commonly allocated for an August/September start; the usual process includes an application, a non-refundable registration or assessment fee, placement/English tests and an interview, and many schools operate rolling entry so it pays to apply early.
