In Brief
NGS suits Russian-speaking families who want a rigorous, structured private school with small classes and serious academic expectations - not a Western curriculum school. The fees at KZT 4,950,000 are mid-market for Almaty but above Shoqan and ISA; the entrance fee of KZT 500,000 is non-refundable and payable upfront, so budget accordingly.
New Generation School runs Grades 0 to 11 from the Yermensai microdistrict in Bostandyk, in Russian medium. It is a private school built on Kazakhstan's national curriculum, not an international framework - there is no IB, IGCSE, or AP. What it offers instead is small classes (minimum 15, maximum 18 students), a full-day structure from 8am to 8pm, school buses, and an IELTS collaboration with KIMEP University beginning at Grade 10 that adds a practical English qualification to the national diploma. The school was founded by Ogay Marina Vladimirovna and uses NGSmart, its own electronic school management platform, for communication and tracking.
Admission is competitive from Grade 3 upwards: entrance tests in maths, Kazakh, Russian, and English. For Grades 0-2 the process is an interview only. Fees are KZT 4,950,000 per year for all grades, with an upfront non-refundable entrance fee of KZT 500,000 at the point of enrolment. A five percent sibling discount and a five percent prepayment discount are available. The stated fee is fixed for two years of study, which offers some predictability. The 4.3 rating on 2GIS from 571 reviews is consistent if not exceptional.
The Bostandyk location on Kolsai Street is workable for families in the southern and western parts of the city, and the school's bus service extends the catchment. For families near Al-Farabi or the city centre, the drive to Yermensai adds time. NGS fills a specific gap: a structured, Russian-medium private school for families who want academic intensity and small classes within the Kazakhstani system. Families who need English as the medium of instruction - or any recognised international qualification for a future move - should look elsewhere.
What parents value
- –Class sizes capped at 18 students - smaller than most private schools in Almaty - across all year groups. That ceiling is written into the school's admissions structure, not just an aspiration.
- –Full-day operation from 8am to 8pm with school buses, KIMEP-partnered IELTS at Grade 10, and a two-year fee guarantee. For working families who want certainty on both logistics and cost, those details matter.
- –Competitive admission process and structured academic programme across Grades 0-11, with fees fixed for two years and a non-refundable entrance fee that filters for families who have genuinely committed to the school.
Points of consideration
- –The school operates entirely in Russian medium. Families whose children are not already fluent in Russian should not enrol expecting language support - this is not a bilingual or English-medium school.
- –The entrance fee of KZT 500,000 is non-refundable. Combined with the first year's tuition of KZT 4,950,000, the total outlay in year one is KZT 5,450,000 before any discounts. Factor that into your budget before beginning the application process.
- –No international accreditation or internationally recognised qualification beyond the national diploma and IELTS. A family considering a move out of Kazakhstan mid-schooling should confirm which international schools will accept credits from NGS before enrolling.
