History of ICCE is a story of traditions, achievements, and changes that have shaped its unique atmosphere over many years. Founded in 1993, the school became not just an educational institution but a cultural and social hub for generations of students. The Concept of Continuity in Education, developed in 1993 from kindergarten through higher education, was approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the college received a license to conduct educational activities. In 1994, ICCE signed a contract with the Oxford Baccalaureate for extended studies and summer language training, which has since helped students improve English and develop intercultural understanding. Later, the college gained the status of representative of the Oxford Baccalaureate in Central Asia, and 14 ICCE graduates represent Kazakhstan in the Oxford International Baccalaureate.
ICCE fosters student leadership through the Student Self-Government Council, a tradition since 1994. Charity Week is held each December in collaboration with the House of Mercy, including Rainbow Quest and a school-wide charity fair. The school participates in academic and cultural events, including the international Olympiad 'Aqbota' and the city-wide 'Polyglot' contest, as well as arts-related festivals and New Year performances.
