The learning process in Presidential schools is carried out according to the STEAM - education program, which will allow gifted youth to further develop thinking, willpower, creative potential and flexibility. The curriculum for STEAM subjects is based on the Cambridge curriculum.

Based on the results of exams passed within the framework of the A-Level, admissions committees of universities judge the knowledge and skills of the applicant and make a decision on admission to the training course.
