Almaty's futuristic schools redefine learning with AI and innovation
Almaty’s education department recently hosted a press tour titled Four Facets of Modern Education as part of Kazakhstan’s Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence. The event showcased four newly built schools in the Alatau District, each designed under the Kelechek Mektepteri (Schools of the Future) project. These institutions highlight cutting-edge technology, innovative teaching methods, and a strong focus on student development.
One of the featured schools, No. 154, bears the name of Ishtan Konyr Mandoky and serves 2,060 students. It stands out for its Science Fusion Zone, a dedicated space for interdisciplinary learning. Parent Anvar Demisenov noted how the school has sparked his son’s enthusiasm for engineering and invention.
At **School No. 213** in the Terekty microdistrict, advanced tools like laser cutters, 3D printers, and VR headsets form part of daily lessons. The school, built for 2,000 students, currently enrols 1,625 and prioritises safety with automated surveillance systems. Interactive labs and AI-driven learning platforms further enhance its modern approach. **School No. 217**, located in the Samgau microdistrict, follows a model centred on strategy, innovation, and measurable results. Initiatives like **DANALYQ TIME** and **Käsip LAB** encourage hands-on learning. Each year, graduates take part in the **Alley of Graduates** ceremony, planting trees to mark their transition. Meanwhile, **School No. 218** in the Karasu microdistrict specialises in robotics, blending contemporary teaching with national identity. Its students have competed globally, including at the **FIRST Tech Challenge** in the United States. The curriculum balances technical skills with cultural values, preparing pupils for both local and international challenges.
The press tour highlighted how Almaty’s new schools are embracing technology and innovation. Each institution offers unique programmes, from robotics to interdisciplinary science, while maintaining a strong connection to Kazakh traditions. These developments align with the city’s broader push to modernise education in line with digital advancements.
