Wisdom begins with wonder
Wisdom Comes from Wonder
by Socrates

Kumamoto International School established its Preschool division in 2003.
Currently, KIS includes both Primary School and Middle School Divisions. KIS will open Grade 11 in 2025 and Grade 12 in 2026.
KIS aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the complex and diverse world of the 21st century. We support students not only academically but also in their mental, emotional, and social growth. We believe that true education goes beyond academics, fostering a well-rounded development that prepares students for all aspects of life. In addition, KIS provides a truly bilingual education, enabling students to communicate confidently in more than one language. Our IB programs are delivered in English, and we also offer rigorous Japanese and Mandarin language instruction.

Our Grade 2 and Grade 3 students also joined the Jupiter Kids for a joyful and engaging morning together.
As part of the activities, our Grade 3 students proudly brought their favorite English books from home to share. They enjoyed reading together and gifting these books to the Jupiter students, spreading the love of reading and learning. 📖❤️
Thank you to everyone who made this special collaboration such a memorable experience!

From painting sessions to collaborative pieces, our students have jumped right back into creating, sharing ideas, and learning from one another after school. It's been awesome to see their focus, creativity, and teamwork grow with every brushstroke.
Afterschool clubs at KIS are more than “extra”—they're a space to explore passions, build skills, and connect across grade levels. We're so proud of the energy our students bring each week!
