On May 1, 2021, KIS officially became an IB World School for the Primary Years Program (PYP).

I would like to thank all teachers, students, parents and other members of the school community who have supported us in getting to this point.

The IB is the most respected and widely-followed academic program in the international school world, and accreditation validates that a school meets high standards of institutional quality through an ongoing, independent, objective review process.  As an IB World School, KIS joins a community of over 5,000 schools worldwide that offer IB programs.

All IB World Schools share a commitment to developing knowledgeable, caring young people who will be ready to negotiate their futures successfully and make contributions resulting in a more harmonious and peaceful world.

KIS will continue to work to increase the quality of the education that we provide for students, preparing them to succeed wherever they go and whatever they do in their lives.

Thank you again for your support, and I look forward to working together to realize our vision of providing world-class education for our students.
