Arystan Lyceum Graduates Its Twelfth Cadet Cohort
The Arystan Specialized Lyceum, which trains elite representatives of the Kazakh army, has already graduated its 12th generation of cadets this year.
The lyceum currently has 240 students from different regions of the country. This year, 80 graduates crossed the threshold of the educational institution.
The festive event began with a ceremony where graduates demonstrated the school’s flag, which symbolizes the prestige of the lyceum and its traditions.
“Arystan” provides cadets with the opportunity to stay in a boarding school, free education and provides them with everything necessary for comfortable study. When enrolling students, special preference is given to children from low-income and large families.
“I’m proud to be a graduate of this institution, as it only admits educated and active students. I spent several years preparing to enter this lyceum. I learned about it online and, reading that it is the most prestigious military school, immediately began honing my knowledge. Studying here, I deeply embraced patriotism for my country and homeland. I believe that the knowledge I gained here will allow me to contribute to the development of our nation,” says a student from the Almaty SOS Children’s Village.
The Arystan Lyceum is a prestigious educational institution that meets high international standards. Every year, 10-12 students compete for one place in this lyceum.
According to the director of the Khalyk charity foundation, Sagynbek Shunkeev, more than 900 graduates have graduated from the lyceum since its establishment. This year, 80 cadets of the lyceum received tickets to adult life.
“The main goal of the Halyk Charitable Foundation is to select and create conditions for quality education for children from low-income and large families. Cadets receive free education in the boarding school and are provided with everything they need. Upon graduating from the lyceum, cadets go on to study at the country’s prestigious universities. Today, some of them work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Guard, the Committee for National Security, the border service, and various law enforcement agencies such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the State Security Service,” said the foundation’s director.
At the ceremonial meeting of graduates, the head of the lyceum, Lieutenant General Maikeyev Murat Zhalelovich, summed up the results of the academic year. On this day, graduates received the coveted certificates, badges and gifts.
By the way, the Arystan Lyceum is one of those educational institutions that receives constant support from the Halyk Charitable Foundation. In 2024, Halyk supported the Nursultan Nazarbayev Education Foundation in opening the specialized Arystan Lyceum.
The idea of creating an educational institution arose and was implemented in 2008 in the Nursultan Nazarbayev Education Foundation with the active support of Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan Dinara Nursultanovna Kulibayeva, as well as one of the main founders of the project and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Lyceum Timur Askarovich Kulibayev.
