The Azerbaijan British College Educational Complex (ABC) was officially established as an international school in 2012 on a site west of central Baku. Its foundation was facilitated by the Azerbaijan International Education Center Public Union (AIEC) and received financial support from SOCAR. After three months of intensive staff training, the EYFS department and Year 1 opened on 1 November 2012 with 14 teachers and 20 children. In 2015, ABC was accredited as both an Edexcel Centre and a Cambridge International School, enabling Primary and Secondary Checkpoints as well as IGCSE and A-Level examinations. In 2021, ABC achieved the status as Azerbaijan's and Central Asia's/Caucasus region's sole school with fully accredited member status with COBIS and CIS.
Open Day events welcome families and provide opportunities to explore classrooms and lessons. ABC publishes monthly newsletters for parents and students, and offers ABC Workshops for parents and students to develop skills and engage with the school community. The school provides a range of extracurricular activities, including school clubs, Arts & Clubs, and sports such as basketball, with Safe Transport arrangements in place.
