Our History
The Kyrgyzstan Academy of Education and Social Development was founded in 2010 by a group of visionary educators and social development experts who recognized the need for an institution that would bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical social development.
Starting with just three programs and 120 students, KAESD has grown significantly over the past decade. Today, we offer 15 academic programs to over 1,200 students from Kyrgyzstan and neighboring countries.
Throughout our history, we have remained committed to our founding principles of academic excellence, social responsibility, and innovation in education.
