Accredited by the Council of International Schools:

The Council of International Schools (CIS) is an independent international organisation that certifies schools meet high standards of educational quality.

Fewer than 1,340 schools in 121 countries worldwide hold CIS accreditation. This is not a mere formality, but the result of many years of rigorous evaluation. To achieve and maintain this status, a school undergoes a comprehensive assessment across three key areas: alignment with its mission and ethical principles, quality of teaching and student well-being, and strategic development.

CIS accreditation is recognised by universities and ministries of education globally and serves as a key indicator for families choosing international education.

An individual approach to every student — no more than 18 students per class and just 15 children in Early Years groups.

ISK Kazan teachers have time to dedicate to every child.

Teachers from 30+ countries — and students from a wide variety of cultures.

ISK students grow up in an environment where multiculturalism is part of everyday life, not just a scheduled lesson.

English is the language of instruction, not just a subject.

Only Russian Language and Mathematics are taught in Russian; however, children also have 'English' Mathematics concurrently.

Three meals a day prepared by our in-house chefs.

We cater to special dietary requirements and health restrictions, ensuring every child's nutritional needs are met with care.

30+ clubs and activities — sport, art, academic pursuits.

Every child at ISK finds an activity of interest for well-rounded development.

From Early Years to graduation — a comfortable journey within one school.

Early Years: 3–6 years old. School: 6–18 years old. A smooth transition between stages without stress for the child.

Mission
We nurture responsible, thoughtful young people who are prepared for global challenges — through education that is meaningful and leaves a lasting impact. For us, it's not just about teaching; it's about cultivating a conscious understanding of oneself, the world, and the future.
Our School Philosophy
We founded the International School of Kazan to be more than just a school. Our goal is to be a flagship for educational transformation in Tatarstan and a driver of growth for the region.
We believe that education can change lives and move society forward. That is why we combine the best of international practice and local context: advanced academic programmes, flexible learning space architecture, and a holistic approach to the development of each child.
We don't just cultivate high-achievers; we raise global citizens who can think broadly, act boldly, and maintain their humanity. We want everyone who becomes part of ISK to feel like they belong to a large, multinational, and caring family. A family that supports, inspires, and helps everyone succeed — in their own unique, authentic, and human way.

We live in a rapidly changing world — and we teach our students to be ready for a future they can create themselves!

Our Values

We build relationships based on trust and openness. Honesty is the foundation of academic and personal integrity, which we foster in every student.

We value diversity in cultures, opinions, and experiences. Respect for oneself, others, and the world around us is an integral part of our school environment.

We encourage a commitment to growth and development. Not towards an ideal, but towards becoming the best version of oneself – every day, in every endeavour.

Every child is important to us. We create an environment where everyone has equal opportunities to learn, develop, and succeed.
