Recreational opportunities are also important.

PE (Physical Education) Program

For over a century, KIS has made its Physical Education (PE) program a priority, steadily developing and keeping abreast of advances in sports in general.

The KIS Physical Education program provides developmentally structured, comprehensive physical activities for students in Preschool through grade 12 coordinated through Elementary, Middle and High Schools.

Children and youth need and want to be physically active. KIS works hard to develop essential physical, mental, spiritual and social skills that promote lifelong participation in physical activity. Physical education at KIS is not just about coaching and / or sports exclusively but providing structured programs in which every student participates. At KIS, qualified PE teachers assess student knowledge, motor and social skills and provide instruction in a safe, supportive environment.

The KIS Physical Education program strives to elicit the best from every individual.
