About Japari School of Kyrgyzstan
Our history, mission, and commitment to educational excellence
Our History
Japari School of Kyrgyzstan was founded in 1997, shortly after Kyrgyzstan gained independence, with a vision to create a world-class educational institution in Central Asia that would bridge Eastern and Western academic traditions.
Beginning with just three departments and 200 students, the university has grown steadily over the decades, expanding both its academic offerings and physical campus. Our growth has been guided by an unwavering commitment to academic excellence, cultural understanding, and preparing students to address global challenges.
Today, Japari School stands as a testament to the power of international cooperation and the pursuit of knowledge, serving over 5,000 students from more than 30 countries around the world.
