Ardingly Astana has opened its new campus in Astana. The international school was established through a partnership between Primus Education, a subsidiary of Primus Capital, and Ardingly College in the UK.

The opening marks another milestone in Primus Capital’s investment in education. It reflects the company’s commitment to developing modern educational facilities and expanding access to international education in Kazakhstan.

The new campus occupies a 3.2-hectare site and has capacity for up to 1,000 pupils. It offers a purpose-built learning environment that supports academic achievement, practical learning and pupils’ personal development.

Facilities include modern classrooms, specialised STREAM laboratories, a library, a 25-metre swimming pool, sports halls and a theatre. The campus also features music and dance studios, art and design studios, outdoor sports facilities and dedicated recreational areas.

These facilities will support a wide range of academic and extracurricular programmes. Pupils will have more opportunities to explore their interests, develop research and creative skills, and stay active.

During his visit to the new campus, Jamie Large, Director of Ardingly College International (UK), praised the school's facilities and highlighted the close partnership between Ardingly College and Ardingly Astana.

“It's incredibly exciting to be here, to see the new campus here in Astana and the vibrancy and the energy and the light reflected in this building is really quite wonderful. There are many ways in which we work together with our sister school here in Astana. We are on the board of the school, we have weekly meetings with the senior management to advise on all aspects of teaching and learning and on pastoral care and co-curricular and the health system and of course with our World Ready ethos which is central both to Ardingly Astana and to Ardingly UK.” said Jamie Large, Director of Ardingly College International.
