What are the schools in Atyrau like?

"Not good for High School and teenagers as curriculum, class sizes and teaching too restrictive and narrow. If checking out lower school, ask for proof of teaching credentials and language support given to non-English speakers in the classroom. Check out the standard of English of teachers in lower school and also those of classroom assistants. Talk to other parents on a pre-assignment trip.The school is not value for money and unaffordable unless a company picks up the tab for tuition. Ask for a copy of the school handbook Ask about staff turnover and religious affiliation. Look closely at textbooks and the so-called 'Mastery' learning system where students can only get an A or a B grade," remarked one parent with kids at QSI Atyrau in Atyrau.
