School history

Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Chemistry and Biology in Petropavlovsk joined the network of the Intellectual Schools of the country on July 4, 2015. An educational institution for 720 students was built in the Bereke microdistrict.

The main goal of the work of the Intellectual School is to provide the younger generation with quality education, introduce innovations in the educational process, and bring up an educated, competitive, critically thinking, and able to serve the society generation.

The school is taught by leading teachers of our region who have successfully passed the competitive selection. Among them are 5 qualified specialists from South Africa, Kenya, Egypt and the Philippines, who also wished to share their experiences.

Competitive selection of students is aimed at admitting children capable of learning in natural and mathematical subjects: chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, and computer science. Today, 632 holders of the “Orken” educational grant and one student on a paid basis study at the Intellectual School.

Along with an in-depth study of chemistry and biology, mathematics, and physics, the school pays great attention to the study of the humanities.

The educational block consists of 65 classrooms, including 22 language classrooms, 6 physics classrooms, 6 chemistry classrooms, 10 mathematics classrooms, 5 biology classrooms, history, ecology classrooms, and others. Our special pride is the newest laboratories of robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Also, the school provides children for individual lessons, technical modeling, art technology, psychological relief, integration of teaching and information technologies, a few universal classrooms, and areas for individual work, and a library with an impressive collection of literature and rare books.
