Academics

MTK International School teaches Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 2 to 17.

Curriculum
MTK High School provides education for students aged 14-18 years. The Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced curricula are taught as core programmes of study, designed for international settings and harmonised with host-country National Curriculum requirements. Most lessons are taught in English, with some Azerbaijani instruction to meet the needs of host-country and expatriate students. The curriculum blends Cambridge with compulsory local subjects, including Azerbaijani Language, Azerbaijani History, Azerbaijani Geography and Azerbaijani Literature, as well as National Curriculum Mathematics, with Azerbaijani and global themes reflected in teaching. All host-country students who complete Secondary School receive the Attestat; Grade 10 leads to Cambridge IGCSE and Grades 11-12 lead to AS and A-Level examinations, recognised locally and internationally. MTK graduates achieve full academic proficiency in English and fluency in native languages, enabling a wide range of educational and career options.

Higher Education Progression
Cambridge IGCSE in Grade 10 and Cambridge AS/A-Level in Grades 11-12 provide internationally recognised qualifications for university entrance. Azerbaijani State Examinations are completed by host-country students where required, alongside Cambridge qualifications, for local university entry. These qualifications enable entry to top universities in Azerbaijan and abroad. MTK graduates are proficient in English and fluent in native languages, widening options for higher education and careers.
