What does the student population at KIS look like?

• At KIS, we reflect a truly international blend of cultures—more than 25 different nationalities to be precise. This is reflected in our student body as well as in our KIS faculty and staff.

How will we fit in if we have never lived abroad before?

• KIS is a truly multicultural environment and enthusiastically welcomes everyone.
• KIS is a family-oriented community with a reputation for reaching out to include new members, providing connection and assistance.

How will we manage without knowing Russian or Kazakh?

• Fairly well, as Almaty is an international business hub, home to a large community of international business people and families in Almaty. Local people do not know English fluently, but they are used to interacting with foreigners.
• KIS provides assistance in either learning the local language and finding a translator when necessary.
