Project description

The school sees itself as a place of learning for the new generation: children should not just absorb knowledge here, but actively think, create and discover. Lessons begin in the lower grades with an in-depth exploration of physics, chemistry, geometry and modeling, in line with STEM education. Instead of frontal teaching, the focus is on interaction, experiments and creative learning. A highly qualified team, including teachers with international experience, currently supports around 50 pupils and creates a safe, environmentally friendly learning environment. The site's capacity will allow the number of pupils to double in the near future.

The plan is to move to a new school building in a residential area in 2026 to make the offer more accessible to families. With the support of BPN, Baktygul wants to further develop its entrepreneurial skills, professionalize the school concept and network with other educational initiatives - always with the aim of creating an education that changes generations.
