110 places. Opening March 2027.
Our first year has 110 places for students from Samarkand and the surrounding regions, with a few more held for visitors from abroad. We are looking for potential, not perfection, and we look for it in conversation and in practical tasks as much as in grades. Completed secondary school is required. Students of all backgrounds, ages and nationalities are welcome, and courses here can stand alone or supplement a university education.
What we look for
Three things, above all. Evidence that you finish what you start. Curiosity that survives being told no. And some sign, however small, that you intend to lift others as you rise. We are less interested in what you already know than in who you are willing to become.
The fee, in plain terms
Tuition is approximately USD 600 per year. We publish this openly because families deserve to plan, and because a school that hides its price is not being fair to the people it serves. Thirty places, more than one in four, are fully funded by the Tumarys Scholars Fund, covering tuition, materials and a daily meal, at no cost to the family. If the fee is the only thing standing between your daughter and this Academy, apply anyway, and tell us so on the form. We will find a way to talk.
How to apply, in three steps
Send your application: a short written form, in Uzbek or English, online or on paper.
Complete a practical task you prepare at home, something that shows us how you think rather than what you have memorised.
Come and talk with us, a friendly conversation with your family welcome in the room.

Admissions: your questions
- Is there an entrance exam?
- No traditional exam. We use a short written application, a practical task, and a friendly conversation, because we are assessing potential and character, not memory.
- My grades are not the best. Should I still apply?
- Yes. We look for potential and determination as much as grades. Tell us your story on the form.
- Can my family be involved?
- We welcome it. Families are invited to the admissions conversation and are always welcome to visit the Academy.
- What if I miss the first intake?
- Write to us anyway. We run short courses and further intakes, and we will tell you the next opportunity to join.
