The School, with support from the Aga Khan Education Service, Kyrgyz Republic (AKES, KR), is strongly committed to promoting and enhancing quality education. Better-trained and skilled teachers provide a more varied, interesting and enriched learning experience for young people.

Teacher Recruitment
The School's teachers are carefully recruited through a rigorous selection process. Members of the school administration participate in the interview process. The teacher selection criteria include: competence and experience in the subject area, understanding of modern teaching methods, commitment to student-centered learning and openness to change.

Continuing Professional Development
This is a very important component of the School's philosophy. Prior to the School's annual commencement, all teachers participate in training conducted by the School's in-house professional development team, which is led by a Professional Development Trainer (A Master of Education graduate from the Aga Khan University-Institute for Educational Development).

During the school year, all teachers set aside Saturday mornings for Professional Development. There are workshops on student-centered learning, English language and Information Technology.

The School maintains an active partnership in the International Academic Partnership, an initiative that brings together the Phillips Academy, Andover and the Aga Khan University-Institute of Educational Development, Karachi to conduct a continuous series of Teacher Training Programmes.

The School's national partners for the delivery of critical thinking and English language seminars include the Osh Institute of Western Education and Osh State University.

Teacher Performance Review And Quality Education
Staff are appraised regularly. The national system requires teachers to be formally assessed at least once every three years. Each teacher is assigned a specific category (A, B, C, D, E) based on their teaching experience, their professional development participation and the quality of their classroom performance.
