Welcoming Note

Dear Parents, Students, and Friends,

Welcome to Horizon International School! We’re thrilled to have you here as part of our vibrant community, where we focus on nurturing not just academic success, but also personal growth and character development.

As the Academic Director, I take pride in leading a school that seamlessly blends the American Common Core standards with the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh curriculum. Our mission is to ignite critical thinking, encourage creativity, and instill a sense of responsibility toward both our local community and the wider world.

At Horizon International School, we believe that education is about so much more than just textbooks and tests. That’s why we emphasize project-based learning, giving our students the chance to tackle real-world challenges, collaborate with their peers, and develop innovative solutions. This hands-on approach empowers our students to think deeply, work creatively, and grow into confident, curious individuals who are ready to embrace the complexities of our interconnected world.

We are also proud to offer a bilingual education that emphasizes both Kazakh and English. This ensures that our students not only gain fluency in two languages but also the skills needed to engage meaningfully with the world around them. Our dedicated team of educators works tirelessly to create a supportive environment where every child can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

We invite you to explore Horizon International School further and join us in our mission to inspire the next generation of leaders, innovators, and global citizens.

Thank you for being a part of the Horizon family!

Warmest wishes,
Muugii Smith
Academic Director
