The school's educational philosophy, which includes a personalized approach to instruction, leads to teaching for mastery. We believe in success for all students. We seek to create a positive learning environment since we believe a child learns more if he enjoys his learning experience.

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE of the school is to meet the needs of the children in Baku who require this type of education with a view to continuing their education in their home countries with a minimum of adjustment problems. This program is also offered to Azerbaijani citizens who seek this education with a view to higher studies outside of Azerbaijan. In addition to its scholastic goals, the school endeavors to provide its students with knowledge of Azerbaijan.

THE CURRICULUM includes English (reading, grammar, composition, keyboarding, and spelling), mathematics (including computer literacy), cultural studies (history, geography, economics, etc..), science, art, music, and physical education as part of the regular program. Intensive English classes are provided for those with a limited knowledge of the English language. French, Russian, and Azeri are offered as foreign languages. Various activities are offered Monday through Thursday after school for students of all ages. A four-year secondary level program is offered through secondary level graduation and Advanced Placement Courses are offered on a need-by-need basis in some subject areas. Textbooks are loaned to students without charge.Baku International School has accreditation through Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Pennsylvania, USA.
