Silk Road International School (SRIS) is a co-educational, multicultural, international school for children from Early Years (nursery) up to and including Key Stage 4 (17 years old). SRIS teaches a curriculum which is based on the British National Curriculum and is entirely in English. Situated in 11th Micro-district of Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek, the school has an environment of clean air and a friendly atmosphere. The educational program at SRIS caters to students from 5 to 17 years of age and follows the British National Curriculum; all lessons are taught in English and most of the learning materials are brought from England. However, the program has also been adapted to meet the requirements of the Kyrgyz ministry of education. Therefore, some subjects required by the Kyrgyz system of education have been retained, including: Russian and Russian literature, Kyrgyz and Kyrgyz literature and the history of Kyrgyzstan. As a result, upon completion of grade 11 at SRIS, a certificate of secondary education of the Kyrgyz Republic is awarded to the student. The school’s program is divided into four key stages: pre-school (ages 5 and 6), primary school (ages 6 – 12), middle school (ages 12-15) and secondary school (ages 15-17). There are 24 classrooms at the school, all of which are equipped with computers and Internet access. Each class has a maximum of 20 students. Courses are offered in art and design, music, astronomy, Turkish and French; and the students of tenth and eleventh grades take courses everyday in TOEFL and SAT, both of which are highly demanded by most universities around the world.
