Canadian School of Tashkent. More than a school.
A community.
Sports, arts, clubs, and the friendships that come with them.
Student Life
Where character is built
after the bell rings.
An academic transcript shows what a student has learned. Their life outside the classroom shows what they have become. At CST, the hours after lessons are not an afterthought. They are where curiosity becomes commitment, where friendships cross continents, and where leadership is practised in low-stakes settings until it becomes second nature.
Every student is expected to commit to at least one co-curricular activity each year. Not because we believe in box-ticking, but because we believe that the parts of life that matter most are rarely measured by exam.
Explore the programmesAthletics & Sports
A body trained
alongside the mind.
Team sports.
Football, basketball, and volleyball squads competing against international and Tashkent schools. Inter-school tournaments through the academic year, with travel for senior teams to fixtures across Central Asia.
Individual sport.
Swimming, athletics, gymnastics, and martial arts. Coached at the partner gymnasium with progression pathways from beginner to competitive level. Students train with age-grade peers regardless of CST grade.
Outdoor & adventure.
Day trips and overnight expeditions for Middle and High students. Hiking, camping, and team challenges in the Chimgan and Charvak mountain regions. Outdoor confidence is built into how CST teaches its students.
Arts & Performance
Studio practice, taken seriously.
Visual arts studios.
Drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and digital design. Students keep working portfolios from Lower Primary onward and exhibit in two annual school-wide shows. Senior students with a portfolio can pursue Visual Arts 10 as a Nova Scotia credit course.
Drama & performance.
CST aims for up to two main-stage productions each year: one for Primary and Middle School, one for the upper grades. Students learn acting, stagecraft, lighting, sound, and direction. The annual showcase is a community highlight families do not miss.
Music ensembles.
Choir, instrumental ensembles, and a contemporary music program covering guitar, keyboard, and percussion. Students from Grade 3 onward can audition for the senior choir. Instrumental tuition is available through the after-school program.
Clubs
Find your people.
Model UN.
Students prepare country positions, draft resolutions, and debate in formal MUN procedure. Year-round practice in English and Russian, with delegations selected for international conferences.

Outside the Classroom
A transcript records what they learn. Daily life records who they become.
Where leadership begins.
A robotics team captain. A debate club chair. A Grade 11 ambassador leading a campus tour. The first time a student leads is rarely in a classroom — it is at a rehearsal, a field trip, a science fair.
Friendships across cultures.
Real bonds form across thirty-four passports on the football pitch and in the music room, in service projects and shared rehearsals. The community a child grows up in becomes part of who they are.
Every child finds their door.
Some students find themselves on a stage; others through a team, a lab, a campaign, a cause. Our role is to keep the doors wide enough that every child finds the one that opens onto their life.
We do not believe in “extracurriculars.”
At CST, this is the curriculum: the part you cannot examine.
Competitions
National & International stages.
Robotics: regional finals.
Our FIRST LEGO League team reached the regional final in Astana this year, competing against twenty-four schools from across Central Asia. FTC senior teams compete in the autumn season.
Model UN.
CST delegations have participated in international MUN conferences in Astana, Kazakhstan and New York, USA, with students taking on committee roles in English and Russian. Preparation runs through the year.
Olympiads & subject competitions.
Students compete in Uzbekistan’s national olympiads across mathematics, science, and languages, alongside the international competitions CST’s curriculum prepares them for.
After School
What happens after the bell.
The school day at CST does not end when lessons do. Between dismissal and pickup, students stay on campus for clubs, supervised study, sports training, and rehearsals, with full staff supervision the entire time.
Supervised study.
A quiet, staff-supervised study period after lessons. Students complete homework, read, or work on long-term assignments. Available to all grades and useful for families with a later pickup time.
Clubs & training.
Most clubs meet after school: Robotics, MUN, sport training sessions, drama rehearsals, art studio time. The schedule is shared termly so families know exactly when each program runs.
Until pickup.
Students remain under school supervision until they are collected. No child is left unsupervised on campus. Pickup arrangements are confirmed at enrolment and changes communicated through the school office.

The thing about CST is that nobody is only a student. Everyone has at least one other thing that makes them them.

Be Part of It
A school is what
its students make of it.
The best way to understand life at CST is to spend time on campus. Trial a class. Watch a rehearsal. Sit in on a robotics session. Then decide.
