Both Haileybury schools in Kazakhstan follow a British-style curriculum taught in English. This includes the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the IB Diploma Programme at Haileybury Astana, the A Level programme at Haileybury Almaty, and the English National Curriculum (ENC) and IGCSE programmes, which are delivered in both schools.
The schools also place strong emphasis on holistic education, leadership, and co-curricular activities alongside academic excellence.
