The British School of Tashkent

What The British School of Tashkent does

The British School of Tashkent (BST) is a privately operated British international school in the Mirzo Ulugbek district of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, founded in 2010 and operating as part of the Nord Anglia Education global family of more than 80 premium international schools. It delivers the English National Curriculum from Early Years (ages 1.5–5) through Sixth Form (ages 16–18), culminating in IGCSE and A-level qualifications, and is the only school in Uzbekistan offering 18 IGCSE subjects and 10 A-level subjects. The school also offers a dual curriculum that produces both the Uzbek аттестат and international IGCSE/A-level credentials. Teaching is supported by the Nord Anglia Global Campus digital learning platform, an ultra-modern STEAM Centre equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, and robotics, and flagship add-on programs delivered in partnership with MIT (STEAM), The Juilliard School (performing arts), and UNICEF (social purpose), alongside the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and more than 40 extracurricular clubs.

BST operates two campuses today — the Sayram Campus on Sayram Street and the Kalandar Campus on Kalandar Street — and is preparing to open a new purpose-built campus in August 2026 to consolidate its full age range in one facility. It serves a community drawn from more than 40 countries, predominantly expatriate families in Tashkent and affluent Uzbek national families seeking global university pathways. Revenue is generated almost entirely from recurring tuition fees, which are not publicly disclosed and are quoted on an enquiry basis. BST holds a unique regulatory stack for Uzbekistan — COBIS, BSO, FOBISIA (the only school in Uzbekistan with FOBISIA membership), AoBSO, and accreditations from the Ministry of Uzbekistan, Cambridge, and Pearson Edexcel — and reported that 41% of its 2024 A-level cohort achieved A* or A grades, compared with a 28% UK average. The school is led by Principal Dr André Nel, who succeeded Mr David Kirkham.
