Vision and Mission

MTK grows dedicated individuals with intercultural competence who manifest and foster their national heritage and universal values for a well-balanced life, successful career, and a peaceful world. We are strongly committed to cultivating an educational landscape where students feel valued, connected, and supported by their peers, teachers, families and friends, and a wider community who believe in their potential, encourage their growth, and stand by them through every stage of life.
 
MTK is an international centre of excellence within an Azerbaijani context striving to educate well-rounded independent learners who are responsible, respectful, resourceful, responsive, and reflective and advocate for universal values with passion and confidence. We provide a wide variety of disciplines and programmes designed to foster academic and intellectual growth, digital literacy, collaboration skills, physical health, and social and emotional well-being in a safe environment.
 

School values

The Modern Educational Complex named in Honour of Heydar Aliyev is an international centre of excellence within an Azerbaijani context, delivering an education that will fully prepare students to thrive 
It is very difficult to predict the jobs and skills that will be most in-demand when today's primary school children reach adulthood.
Focusing solely on academic achievement is no longer a guarantee of success to meet the demands of a fast-changing world.
As educational researcher Karl Fisch explains:
“We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist... using technologies that haven't yet been invented ... in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet.”
We provide a wide variety of learning experiences designed to foster intellectual growth, physical and emotional health, creativity and an empathetic spirit.
With the above in mind, we aim to nurture the following values in our students:
 
 
Tenacity – willpower and perseverance
 
Tolerance – an understanding and acceptance of our differences and common humanity
 
Multiculturalism - adherence to national as well as international values; a penchant for modernity
 
Creativity – a non-standard approach to complex 21st century challenges
 
Honesty – recognition of reality, regardless of the weight of responsibility
 
Scholarship – mastery of applied knowledge including innovation and digital literacy
 
Excellence – commitment to excelling in all endeavours
 
Enthusiasm – initiative born out of a sincere love of learning and a commitment to fulfilling potential
 
Leadership – initiative, participation, discussion, individual and social responsibility, discipline, effectiveness
