Welcome to the August Conference – 2025!

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are delighted to welcome you to the NIS August Conference, held this year under the inspiring theme: “Values as a Driver of Education: What and How Modern Educators Teach”.

The conference will take place on 21–22 August at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Oskemen. From 25 to 29 August, the conference will continue its work in an online format across all NIS schools.

We live in a dynamic world where values shape both the content and methods of teaching. Today’s teachers are more than knowledge providers – they are mentors, guides, and a source of inspiration.

This year’s conference programme includes our traditional Panorama of Successful Practices, thought-provoking keynotes, hands-on sessions, and vibrant exchanges of ideas and experience. Together, these activities will help us highlight the key role of values in the holistic development of students.

We invite you to participate actively, engage in open dialogue, and contribute to fruitful collaboration. May these August meetings be a source of inspiration and professional growth for each of us!

Wishing you a successful 2025–2026 academic year!

With kindest regards,

Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools AEO
