Tien Shan Educational Center (TSEC) was founded in February 1995
by a group of volunteer workers to meet the educational needs of
their children with an emphasis on educational excellence and affordability.
Tien Shan was officially registered in 1999 with the Kazakhstan
Ministry of Education and was fully licensed as an educational facility
in 2002. Tien Shan Educational Center is a member of The Association
of Christian Schools International. Tien Shan Educational Center
(TSEC) offers a high quality English medium education with a Christian
world view to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students
in Kindergarten through 6th grade receive instruction in the "grammar"
of core disciplines with an emphasis on mastery. Students also study
Russian or Kazakh, art, and music. They also have physical fitness
training. Tien Shan's secondary school (grades 7- 12) provides a
challenging college preparatory education. Students are expected
to read and write extensively in every academic class as well as
participate in class discussions and projects. The seventh and eighth
grade programs focus on building a strong base for high school level
courses as well as study skills, time management, and proficiency
of foundational skills. The high school program offers four years
of foreign language, Social Sciences, Math, Language Arts (Literature,
Grammar, Expository Writing, vocabulary, and analytical thinking),

of America, South Korea, Australia, and Germany. The Tien Shan Campus
is modest and functional with a large English language library with
over 20,000 books both fiction and non-fiction, a science lab, a
computer lab, and a sport's field. Full multi-media equipment including
television, video, DVD, video projector, and computers are available
for use throughout the school. A 1.5 million dollar building program
is underway with the goal of providing new facilities by Fall 2007
or earlier. The new facilities will house a full gymnasium, theater,
library, science lab, music room, art room, and full classroom facilities
in a three story building on the school's property.
