Our
mission
A next-generation micro-school for grades 0–4 in Astana. We combine the state curriculum with 90 microskills development and a full-day format.
Every child can unlock their unique set of abilities — the school's job is to create the environment for that.

Micro-school
Ideal
community
We deliberately limit the school size — so every child is seen and every teacher knows every student by name.
150
Dunbar's number
The cognitive limit of stable social relationships for humans — a scientifically proven optimum for a school community.
School is a tribe,
not an institution
In the 1990s, anthropologist Robin Dunbar established that humans can maintain stable relationships with approximately 150 people — this is the cognitive limit of our brain.
Historically, ideal tribes, villages, and the most effective military units were this size. We consciously build a microschool around this boundary.
Each class has up to 16 students — not a huge school with big ledgers, but an ideal tribe where everyone matters and everyone knows everyone.
Our differences
How we
differ
Five key decisions that make Perspective not just a school, but an environment for the holistic development of a child.
AI-ready kids
We prepare children for life with artificial intelligence: teaching them to give precise instructions to AI, distinguish real from generated, and use technology consciously — starting from grade 1.
90 microskills
Every week — one new skill: from critical thinking and public speaking to first aid. Every child has a personal booklet with stickers for each mastered skill.
Four languages
Advanced instruction in Kazakh, Russian, and English, with the option to learn French. Language environment is embedded into every school day.
Unique olympiad
Perspective Pentathlon (grades 1–2) and Decathlon (grades 3–4) — proprietary intellectual competitions that assess thinking and reasoning ability, not memorized knowledge.
Full-day school
Parents drop off their child in the morning and pick up in the evening. During this time, they complete academic classes, have lunch, play outdoors, attend clubs, master microskills, and do homework with tutors. No rushing, no post-school stress.
Daily schedule
Balance of
school day
Every hour at Perspective is planned so that no aspect of a child's development is left unattended.
Daily structure at Perspective
- Academic subjects (state curriculum)
- Walk and physical activity
- After-school clubs
- Microskills development
- Homework with tutors
From first lesson to evening clubs
We carefully balance between the state curriculum academic program, physical activity, extracurricular activities, microskills development, and homework completion.
The child doesn't go home with a pile of unsolved tasks — homework is done at school with a tutor while thoughts are still fresh.
