3. Who are the teaching staff? Are they native English-speakers? What qualifications do they hold?
Teaching Staff
Our classes is led by a highly-qualified Local and/or Foreign, experienced teachers with a minimum master's degree in the appropriate subject from a foreign University.
Local Class teachers possess an innate knowledge and understanding of local children that make them the correct choice.
All our Teachers are highly trained and carefully selected, they hold all of the qualifications, certificates and background checks required to teach in any school programme classes.
The School online app
The School Online app provides our parents with frequent, high quality updates on everything from school trips and events to children’s grades and photos of the children’s learning; this can be installed on smart devices such as mobile phones or tablets and is also accessible on laptops and desktop computers.
The School Online also enables parents to access data about their children’s attendance and punctuality, view and print termly written reports on their progress, view their grades and even write messages to the teaching team and operations staff.
5. Meeting with teaching staff
We invite parents for a formal meeting to discuss their children’s progress on four occasions during the academic year but in reality, provided that reasonable notice is given, teachers are available to make an appointment to meet you on most school days; we only ask that you book these meetings in advance and inform the staff concerned of the reason for the meeting in order for them to be properly prepared.
Written students reports are issued four times per year which can be accessed and printed from the School Online app.
In addition to the channels of communication listed above, parents and carers (nannies, relatives, other responsible adults) are encouraged to drop-off and collect children in the morning and afternoon; this provides a valuable informal opportunity to pass quick verbal messages to teachers.
At Cambridge International School of IT and Economics in Tashkent we believe that all students should be smartly dressed and ready to learn; therefore wearing school uniform is compulsory. The attractive uniform design is classic in appearance, based on the colours navy blue and golden details; it is manufactured from high-quality, durable materials suited to the seasons in Tashkent. Our winter and summer uniform can be purchased at our on-site uniform shop, which we keep well-stocked at all times.
Yes, but we do not recommend it. Demand for one of the few places on our A-level course is highly competitive and every year we find ourselves refusing excellent applicants.
Yet it is not only a matter of competition for places. We are also very hesitant about the value of spending only the last two hectic and academically demanding years at our School. And we are not the only ones to think like this: younger siblings of those accepted always apply to join us earlier.
10. How many children are there in each class? What are the pupil:teacher ratios?
The classes have up to 16 children with one Teaching Assistants; the ratio of pupil to teaching staff is 8:1.
A general note about class numbers and children:adult ratios
Please note that while the limits on class numbers are flexible, the ratios of children:adults are fixed (inflexible); if we enrol additional children in a class that has an upper limit of 16, for example growing the number to 22, we will add additional teaching staff to ensure that ratios are observed.
