The school year runs from September to June, so the best time to apply is in the summer. The following is a list of private international schools:

The Dushanbe International School is a private school that offers classes for students from prekindergarten through grade 11. They hire native English teachers with a teacher certification or a bachelor’s degree and two years of teaching experience.
