Our Story
In September 2011, a French Section was opened at Miras International School, Astana, in accordance with a cooperation agreement between Nursultan Nazarbayev Educational Foundation and the Mission Laïque Française (MLF) — the French Secular Mission.
In 2016, the Primary School of the French Section was accredited by the Ministry of National Education of the French Republic.
In June 2019, the French Section was renamed and received its official name — Ecole française internationale Charles de Gaulle — Miras.
