What International School Of Kazan does

International School of Kazan (ISK) is a private K-12 institution operating two campuses in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation: the Mavlyutova campus (middle school) at Khusaina Mavlyutova, 5 and the Fedoseevskaya campus (primary school) at Fedoseevskaya, 52. The school was founded in 2014 in partnership with Fielding Nair International and operates as an Autonomous Non-Profit Educational Organization (ANO). ISK serves approximately 650+ students aged 3 through 18 in a bilingual Russian-English environment, with instruction primarily in English and Russian language and mathematics taught in Russian. The school is registered as «Автономная некоммерческая образовательная организация «Международная Школа Казани»».

ISK's core product is a dual-diploma educational pathway combining British A-Level curricula (with foundation through IGCSE-equivalent work in primary and middle school) with Russian ФГОС standards, enabling graduates to apply to both Russian and international universities. The portfolio spans four core programs — Discovery (ages 3-5), Primary School (Grades 1-5), Middle School (Grades 6-10), and High School A-Level (Grades 11-12) — plus 30+ extracurricular clubs (sports, arts, languages, technology) and three halal meals daily. Notable accreditations include the Council of International Schools (CIS, held by fewer than 1,340 schools in 121 countries) and the UNESCO Associated Schools Network.

The business model is tuition-driven and direct-to-consumer. Annual tuition ranges from 890,000 RUB (Discovery 1-2) to 1,490,000 RUB (Grades 11-12), with multi-year contracts, sibling discounts of 10-20%, and a one-time enrollment fee of 265,000 RUB plus a 15,000 RUB entrance testing fee covering three attempts. ISK markets through its website, an online application portal (apply.iskazan.com), Telegram (@iskfamily), Russian social platforms (VK, OK), individual campus tours, and word-of-mouth referrals from existing families. The school is led by Director Нияз Гафиятуллин (Niyaz Gafiyatullin) with a multi-person deputy director structure across academic, educational, and administrative functions.
