The International Steppe School of Astana is an IB World private day school in Kazakhstan's capital, Astana. It delivers the International Baccalaureate curriculum in an English-language learning environment and operates as a branch of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools, reflecting the group's national program. Founded in 2013 as the International School of Astana, the campus was renamed in 2025 as part of a Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools rebranding. The school's program emphasizes enquiry-based learning across science, humanities, and intercultural understanding. Academic and intellectual clubs include Tugan Elge Tagzym, a 2025 initiative focusing on scientific exploration, nature study, and historical research, alongside the My Homeland project examining Lake Taldykol. Cultural and language activity is represented by Festival of Hope, a 2025 intercultural dialogue and leadership event. The school also hosts exhibitions of joint social and mentoring projects for grades 8 and 11, and hosts the 4th Experiential Learning Conference, underscoring leadership development and collaboration.
